skins. There are at least 49 new styles of heads, and 3 to 4 different versions of the same style, so there is at least 147 new heads for the Anakin model in this pack. There are at least 21 different torso styles, with about 3 versions per style (robed, unrobed, or hooded), and at least 21 new legs to match. Altogether, there are over 125000, unless my math is off, and I am fairly certain that it isn't. (129024 according to the readme... :p)
Needless to say, this is split up into a lot of different species in the SP customization menu. There is far too much to have all in one menu. But it is split up and put together in a way that allows you to choose the combination that you want to have.
Now onto the skins themselves... Each one is of very high quality, like the Aviar Lord skins were (Acutally, the Aviar Lord skins are included in this too :p), and the heads are pretty much all original. The clothes, though, aren't quite as original as the heads. But that is not the author's fault. There is only so much you can do with the clothes on the Anakin model, and I think that almost everything that can be realistically done to them has been done. I'd go more in depth about what they all look like if it weren't for the fact that it would pretty much be impossible to do so, so I will instead leave it up to the screenshots to tell you.
I honestly couldn't find very much to complain about for this pack with one exception: This caused some problems with the default JA stuff. I popped it into my base folder and went to play SP a bit, and found that stormtroopers no longer spawned. Of course, that could be because I have so much other crap in my base folder as well. And, that shouldn't bug too many of you, since not many seem to play SP much these days, and I found no problems in MP.
Anyway, this is a huge file, but I found every single byte of it to be worth it. I highly recommend this pack for people to download.

there now happens to be \"1628 total variations, without using any of the original heads or 5 out 6 of the original torsos.\" The new looks are just lovely. I don\'t particularly care for the orange one in the third screenshot, but it\'s nice to have more choices. :) I really like that last one ... the blue one. And with the new hair colors, it just gives this particular face a softer look, y\'know?
There\'s not much more I can say other than - DO MORE! ;) I would love to see more new styles for the human female. Especially some different faces - if possible. And maybe make some more clothing options that are more like the Zabrak and Twi\'lek styles available for the human. Anyway, great job. :D

skin, I have no idea if it looks just like Darth Revan or not. I couldn\'t, for the life of me, find a picture of him anywhere! So I\'m just gonna take the author\'s word for it, and believe that this is exactly what Darth Revan looks like. The skin has a very muted look to it. Maybe that was intentional. I like it.
The red and blue skins for team support are just what you\'d expect. Nothing fancy here, just red and blue, respectively. There are no new sounds, just the plain Raven ones. The author mentions that it makes sense because you never hear Darth Revan speak. Well, wouldn\'t it make more sense to include a couple of silent sounds? An update to include those sounds and bot support would be nice, I suppose, for those who really like this skin. :)

just doesn\'t fit him. Not that the female Jaden voice would be any better. ;) What the author has done is revamped the sounds so that Jaden, when played as Desann, will have a deeper voice. It was a little weird playing it and seeing and hearing Desann speak so casually since I\'m used to him being all \"Save your strength\" in his mocking, evil voice thing. Anyway, there are a few torsos and legs to choose from and two heads. They look great and this is worth a download if you\'re a fan of Desann\'s.

unfamiliarity with the latest Tron film I know a cool skin when I see one, especially when it has glowy bits! Mmmmm glowyness...
Eherm, anyway, this skin is based in part off the character of Rinzler from Tron: Legacy and having had a look at the pictures I could find of this character on t'internet I think the author has done a good job on the likeness. Certainly he chose the right model to reskin as it has just the right shape, however while the skin itself is good, the shiny shader that has been applied to it is way too shiny in my opinion and obscures the detail on the clothing itself. Looking at some reference pictures I think more of a satin sheen would be better, Iâ€™m pretty sure there is a texture/shader for that somewhere in JKA's assets, I know I have used one of the Byss floor shaders before which if my memory serves me correctly has more of a satin sheen. Though that was for a map Iâ€™m sure the shader and texture can be reused for a skin.
Despite the somewhat overbearing shiny shader this does have team skins and also some cool new sounds which is a big plus, while I can understand the difficulty of finding/making new sounds for a skin I definitely think it is well worth the effort! The readme does say that there are other colour variations for this skin, including orange, green and others, these did not appear in the skin selection menu and the readme does not include the model codes to get them, so thatâ€™s something thatâ€™s worth including next time.
All in all a cool skin here, especially the glowy bits, which you will need to have dynamic glow enabled to properly enjoy of course, though as I said that shiny shader is a bit overbearing. Definitely worth a download if you are a Tron fan or are looking for something glowy. ;) Keep up the good work RedFury!
Now all someone needs to do is make some Tron Disk melee weapons! *wink wink, nudge nudge* ;)

most of the beard removed, and what has been left has had gray added to it, so the character looks older. There have been slight touch-ups on the hair. The clothes [i]look[/i] like they were turned black, but in this case – if that was done – it doesn’t look bad. Sure, the silvery tracing on the clothes helps a lot, but it still doesn’t look bad. Then again, the blue filling goes good with the silver tracery. Gah. I just want to give this guy fists of silver tracery +5, but there’s only silver tracery on his clothes. So he only gets +5 AC bonus against silver weapons.
The bottom part of the torso is like the upper part – it doesn’t look bad. All in all, this isn’t a bad skin.

very outrageous, and the skin is basic. It\'s just a black reskin of the robe with the metal plating on the chest, along with some plating on the front of the legs. What really speaks out is the soundset and the face. The whole package makes him seem so evil. I absolutely adore it. =_,= However, it sounds so similar to my own in some instances. Oh well.
Overall, though simple, it is quite effective in other instances. There wasn\'t really anything wrong with this skin. I would suggest a sample of bandwidth to take a look at this malevolent piece of work.

Behold, for it is a human merc reskin to envision a strange new trooper of some sort. The concept itself is interesting, but it sort of lost me. Suffice to say, however, the skinning is excellent, as per usual. Even the skin texture on the previously covered arms looks pretty good. The thing that pretty much lost my favor is the team skins and basically one aspect of the skin. First off, the team skins are pretty much just recolors, which is not usually in Tobe's style, so that was a slight, but not crippling disappointment. The thing that did it for me was the word "Cyber" on the back. "But Averus, it's just a word!" Yes, but it basically ruined the feel of the skin. Usually less skilled skinners do things like this, and I could have thought of several theme appropriate things(Say like" Special Forces Division 100110101 Alpha Squadron, or unit #blah) to put on there other than the word "Cyber."
The weapon was also a little disappointing, mostly in the sound department. Visually speaking, it's great. A great model by Seancsnm. The tag needs some adjusting to make the weapon look like it's facing the right way, but it truly has a cybernetic visual feel to it. However, as I said, the sound department feels really awkward. The activation/deactivation and idle sounds were fine, but the swinging sounds and spin sounds were just too "soft" to feel like you were swinging a weapon. People could argue that these sounds are theme-appropriate, but logic compels me to argue otherwise in the name of user entertainment.
Regardless of what I may have conveyed in the upper paragraphs, I still think you gents did a fine job. I just personally can't say it's awesome because of my clashes with some aspects @_@. For those of you who don't care, BY ALL MEANS, ENGAGE BANDWIDTH TO MAX SPEED

bring some grand changes to the original - some armor plating or something to be the rival of the JSC Catz model. I was let down unfortunatly, to see that it was mainly just a recolor to a simple greyish shade. The only alteration to the skin other than color was the replacement of the abs with more fur (which wasn\'t really a bad move, I have to admit the abs didn\'t look all that great because I had some trouble with them). This skin also comes with bot support (something werewolf had) and 2 npcs (something werewolf lacked cause of some npc trouble I had). This model can also be used in Single Player (again, a step up from Werewolf). Last but not least: the sounds. From what I could tell, they were all my original sounds, only mixed up a little bit. There may be a new sound or 2 in there, but I\'m unsure.
Bottom line:
Not much altered skin-wise, but things like SP support bring it a small step up from the original.

itself is a recolor of a default Jaden outfit, but for the most part it's quite well-done, if not a little boring due to the color choices. Gotta say the black panels seem awfully solid, almost as if they're armor instead of the 'elaborate ceremonial dress pauldrons' (for lack of a better term), but it's not so bad. The Stormtrooper arm is the big difference here, which adds a definite Imperial overtone. Although, it appears to have been skinned over the fabric, so it does distort - I imagine that can't be helped.
A new head is packaged, or shall I say, a non-overriding adjustment to a pre-existing one. The longer-haired Jaden is now available with both blonde and brown hair. Not much of a big change, but the hair recoloring is done professionally. Master_Ibonek missed a true calling - salon stylist! Although it should be noted, that the facial hair is in fact still blonde.
The second head modification overwrites the shorter-haired caucasian head, whose "brown" hair was noticeably not very brown at all, but more sienna-indigo. See the screenshot for the direct comparison.
Recommended simply because choice is good, and there's no reason not to recommend it.
~ Kouen

Graves' Dante model has been reskinned into Vergil. Since they are twin brothers, the model is interchangeable between them - indeed, it looks good. The skinning work is well-done, too - the blue robes have some nice highlights/shadows. The vest looks very good as well. Everything seems as accurate as accurate gets.
On the downside, there is a little seam on the shoulders, but that was the only flaw I could spot. I also didn't see any NPC/bot support, which must be added if you even consider a version 2. Of course, someone's going to find a bunch of faults and post them in the comments, I just know it.
If you like Vergil or are a collector of nice-looking skins, check this one out! It certainly deserves some attention.

a cool character. Therefore I am most pleased to be able to review this mod! :D
The model that has been re-skinned is Toonces Qui-Gon, and each customisation category; heads, torsos and legs contains a huge variety of different choices. These include scary looking grey skeletal Qui-Gon parts (including a head with glowy red eyes!) various combinations of facial hair and hair colour and also Obi-Wan and Count Dooku’s faces placed on the Qui-Gon model. The Qui-Gon / Obi-Wan mix in particular looks really good!
There are various different coloured robes and also ones with different patterns, belts, detailing and such as well as a choice between cloak and non-cloak versions for each. These include camouflage robes and one eye popping-ly colourful set of robes, among many others! The same is true for the legs, featuring a wide array of colours and different styles of boots. Just have a look at the screenshots below, they give you a good idea of just how many options you can choose from.
Along with the customisable options, this pack also comes with a selection of pre-made skins. These include the scary grey skeletal Qui-Gon, with ripped robes and glowing eyes he looks like something you would se in your nightmares, or perhaps on the front of a Metallica album! There is also a version with a blue face and white hair, along with nicely decorated greenish robes. This guy is apparently an R.A. Salvatore character called Drizzt Do’Urden. I have absolutely no idea who this character is, but he looks like something straight out of Lord of the Rings!
There is also a cartoon style Qui-Gon skin, which is one of my favourites. Personally I think this type of cartoon style skin should be done more often, perhaps with Anakin, Obi-Wan or even Luke or Kyle skins. All the skins have new sounds, often different from each other, including good use of some of the Ragnos sounds for the scary looking Red Faced Sith Qui-Gon.
Textures from other authors have been used, however Jashugan has also modified and made many textures himself and overall the quality of these textures is excellent. Considering facial textures that were not designed for this model have been used, the author has done an excellent job in fitting them to the Qui-Gon model.
This is a very well put together mod, and I did not find any bugs whilst testing it. However as for things to be improved upon; I would suggest that if there is a v2 of this, more choice of legs should be added, especially different styles of boots. I also think that some more torsos like the one on Drizzt Do’Urden should be added, perhaps with different patterns and colour combinations. There are also only two team skins, so I think team skins should also be made for the other pre-made skins available from the main menu.
All in all this is an excellent customisable skin pack, and an added bonus is that it has Single Player support for [b]both[/b] JKA and JK2! Considering the amount of options available with this pack, you could spend ages just making cool looking character combinations as well as using them ingame. ;) In fact, all in all there are 32 heads, 32 different torsos either with or without a cloak, and 17 different pairs of legs!
I definitely think this file is worth a download, and I look forward to Jashugan’s future work!

for an uninteresting review of a review.
[quote]Mmmmmmm... Mandalorians. I tingle with delight at the opportunity to review a Mando'ad file, especially one as good as this, and by a friend of mine at that! I'll be! I'd also like to note that we had some difficulty getting this file on to the server, and I eventually had to transfer it to JK3files using FTP server-server transferring. I tell you this because I want all of you out there TO KNOW ALL OF THE HARD WORK I GO THROUGH FOR YOU. Kay, on to the review.
What we have here is a skin based off of this deviant, hence the name Deviant Mandalorian. It's a rather popular concept of a Mandalorian, being the subject of many skinning attempts by different people including myself. It is, quite obviously, an Imperial-esque Mando. Diablos did something special with his version, however.
It's a very nice skin. Even without the shaders piled on (Which add to it) it looks great. The actual textures are fairly simple. Mostly just white armor, though the shaders really add some depth to it. There are lots of different options, which you can access via a SPECIES CUSTOMIZATION MENU. YES. I know you're just as excited about this as I am, considering the fact that we all 'love' these customization menus. It also means you get to use him to kill Rosh in single player which is always an upside. The different customization options range from 3 heads (One normal helmet, one with electrobinoculars, and one unhelmeted version where he wears a sexy ninja mask), multiple torsos, and 2 different jetpacks or no jetpack at all.
New sounds are included, and they're pretty cool, though I have no idea what they're from. My favorite part about them is that you have the static 'Kssh' 'Kssh' at the start and end of each thing he says, which really adds to the effect that it's coming out of a helmet or commlink.
If you want a scary imperial Mandalorian to hunt down rebel scum as, submit your souls... I mean... download this file![/quote]
The biggest change in the Mark II are team skins. The blue and red team skins look sufficiently intimidating and look nice with blue and red glowing visors respectively rather than a green one. My only problem is that if you're playing in a team environment that may not be visible enough. Maybe add a couple glowing marks elsewhere for easier visibility.
Also included are more customization options! You can now also choose one of the team skin heads, or a head with the binoculars pushed up onto the forehead of the helmet, as though they're not in use but still there. Another notable change is a fix that makes only the armor shiny now. Some may have noticed that in previous versions even the cloth on the jumpsuit was shiny; well, no more!
I don't know quite what else I can comment on. This is in short (Well, shorter than my already short review) a solid improvement over the original version.
Team skins: Yes.
Bot support: No, but nobody uses this anyway.
NPC support: No, and nobody uses this.
Single player customization: Hell yes.
New sounds: Indeed.

done to it. This reborn was pretty much turned green, with a white hood, and white flame-like designs put onto it. The original designs and textures appear to be the same as the original reborn, only changed colors in the shape of a flame design. Also, the name Revan was put onto the right arm in green text. Some custom sounds were included, but I was not able to get them to work for me...
All in all, not that bad a reskin, but something more than just a recolor would be nice.
Team Support: Yes, but the same as the main skin.
Bot Support: No

New Sounds: Yes, but I was unable to get them to work.

custom sounds, and the face and arms look awful As many of you may know, this is based on the Cloud model from Final Fantasy 7 (a very good skin) and the author has definitely chosen the best model for this skin. However, the face skinning is absolutely dreadful - even for a cartoon which is meant to be simple, it looks very messy and not much like Goku at all. He also has a small gap betwen his head and his body, around the back of the neck. Thankfully, it\'s not very noticable. Another thing, where are the cool designs on his top which are seen in the series, such as the turtle logo and King Kai\'s emblem? And what about that ugly logo in the top right-hand corner? What the hell is it? Arrrrgh!! Ugly! On a side note, the clothes look bare. Again, the author says this is an improvement to his 1.5 version, but if so, how come there are no custom sounds anymore?!! Anyway, until something better comes along, this Goku skin is the best you will get, and credit to the author for his perseverence.[/quote]
asgWULF is a prolific skinner. Especially when it comes to Goku. This is what ... his fourth version of it? Is this an improvement since his last creation? Gah. I don\'t know. They\'re all starting to look the same to me. I think the face looks better, maybe. The arms definitely look better, but the skin tone seems a bit too pink compared to his neck and face. Still, there are no new sounds. Why not? Don\'t label this the final version if you haven\'t added sounds yet! According to the readme though, this isn\'t the last you\'ll see of Goku. Stay tuned for the Final-Final version. ;)

are the people who deserve praise, rather than the people who pump out flawed work but get away with it because of the \"fanboy\" instinct.
One word popped into my head when I saw this skin: \"nanotechnology\".
That\'s precisely the effect you get, too. It looks good, even without dynamic glow. Oh, yeah, for those not aware of the visual nanotechnology effects, there\'s backstory to it, but that\'s hardly relevant. Bottom line is, when a nanotech-enhanced human is hurt (usually by gunshots), a pulsating energy pattern appears over them. This effect has been used in many games, but the closest to this skin\'s style is the nanotechnology in [i]Red Faction II[/i]. I\'m not sure the author was aiming for a nanotech look, but that\'s certainly the closest description I can think of.
But, that\'s enough backstory. Let\'s look at the skin. The basic skin is a complete reskin of the Shadowtrooper. Everything has changed, although you can barely make out the original skin\'s shape. The design is now more of a space-age style than the plastic Star Wars junk Raven Software threw out. The only thing that really remains is the gem, but even that looks much classier, as well as the unit holding it. The worn-down effect looks great. I can\'t really describe much of it, there aren\'t enough words in my vocab. I am, however, reminded of Nod Soldiers, from [i]C&C Tiberian Sun[/i] and [i]C&C Renegade[/i].
But now we get on to the best bit. The nano effect. Available in blue, red, green and cyan, the effect consists of a pattern of glowing lines and grids across the skin. Each color is perfectly matched to it\'s appropriate saber blade color, although orange and purple are missing. I noticed one error with the glows, which I hope has been fixed - a few parts on the cyan version is still red.
The Jedi Academy version also includes .npc files, allowing you to overwrite the default Shadowtrooper.
I don\'t need to say much else. Quality tends to speak for itself, and this file proves it to be true. Scerendo has taken the time to go over the project, hasn\'t rushed it, and made sure every angle was covered. The fact that it looks good is unrelated to the quality factor, but it\'s still a great bonus.
It\'s very rare that anything created in the typically weak and outdated Q3 engine can sincerely impress me, but this has. It\'s definitely one for the collection if you\'re a fan of the futuristic style.

someone and make them over completely, and not just with a haircut and some new makeup. It involves plastic surgery and other stuff. *shudder* I don\'t think I could ever do that. Anyway, this is \"Extreme Makeover\" Tavion. Amidala took the JA Tavion and gave her a new, more attractive look. Tattoos were removed, she was given new makeup and ... stuff ... was added.
There are team skins and everything is colour-coordinated. Even her eye color changes with each skin. There\'s bot support, but she uses just the default Tavion sounds. Which I suppose is fine, since it still is Tavion, though it would\'ve been nice to hear at least a new taunt. The readme is lengthy and explains a few other things, so be sure to read that in case you run into any bugs. :)

the epitome of awesome. Now I myself prefer the more modern ninjas (*Cough Sam Fisher Cough*), but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the old fashioned ones as well, and there's a [i]lot[/i] to appreciate in this massive pack.
Jashugan returns after his last absolutely massive customization pack, [url=http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/Yaleck_Vos;97310]Yaleck Vos[/url], and he's stronger than ever. The amount of choices in this pack is just staggering and reminds me of his Yaleck Vos pack in terms of its customization and number of different skins - both attributed that are beginning to become customary of Jashugan. At this rate he may surpass Spanki as the customization and skinpack king! The pieces in this Samurais and Ninjas Pack ranges, predictably, from samurai to ninjas, but it also touches on beloved characters like Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Raiden, and then even touches on more surprising characters like ronin and a skeleton samurai. There's too much to go into each skin individually so I'll just give an overview of the pack as a whole.
[b]Texturing[/b]
The textures in this pack are, to put it in a few words, well above average. Then again, when you borrow textures from masters like Scerendo, Tobe, Spanki, and Hapslash, it's hard to go wrong. Every piece of every model seems unique and realistic, from Samurai armors decorated with rustic patterns to ninja cloaks and the undead head of the skeleton samurai. Paper hats, metal helmets, cloth robes, banded swords hilts, and everything inbetween are all skinned with realistic and high quality textures.
[b]Team Skins[/b]
This deserved a section all of its own simply because it's such a large part of the skin pack. Rather than just shoving team skins aside as a secondary thought like so many skinners do (myself included), the author has done something that isn't done very often: he's made the teamskins a true addition to the pack. Every teamskin is truly unique and, while it obviously relates to the model that it is a team skin of, it is its own entity. Sub-Zero and Spider are the teamskins of Scorpion, for example.
[b]Screenshots[/b]
I just had to put this in. The screenshots for this mod are so cool, unique, and well done. It's not often that you get a mod with such an effort in the presentation, and I think it should definitely be noticed and commended.
[b]Overview[/b]
In all, this pack is definitely something you should take a look into whether you're in to ninjas and samurais or not. It's definitely a keeper for me.

~ Kouen

that add on to pre-existing species are always great. This mod adds four new heads to the game -- three for male Human Jaden, and one for male Rodian Jaden.
The basic idea of these is to mix up what\'s already there. For instance there is a version of the black Human Jaden that has the brown-haired Jaden\'s hair, and there\'s a brown-haired version of the blond Jaden. It\'s subtle changes that really add some usable new heads to the game. I personally think it\'s a novel idea, and while it\'s no artistic masterpiece, it will certainly be [i]very[/i] useful and worthwhile. If I planned to play SP through again I\'d grab this right away. I\'m guessing that MP players who make frequent use of the Jaden species combos will want to give this a look as well, though.
~Inyri

There wasn\'t mention of it being reskinned in the readme. And all I can say in favor of this skin is that the colors chosen aren\'t bad. The author says this is his or hers first and last skin. *shrug* Guess it\'s not for everyone.

Gweth releases a skin of the model, appropriately titled Female Militia.
The skin is very impressive. Lots of details, from the commando jacket to the camouflage pants, this skin is no joke. Every bump on the jacket, and crease in the sweater is textured on, and if a plain skin weren't enough, there's also a shining shader to go with it. For the extra realism, y'know...
I definitely recommend a download, and I wish to see more high quality skins like this from the author in the future. Enjoy.

compared to results achieved by wearing a camouflage-pattered BDU. The ghillie suit is worn by hunters, photographers, and military snipers, and can often limit attraction to the human eye to such a degree that the person may be rendered completely undetectable. My talents being somewhat limited, I of course could not replicate the wonderful detail of a ghillie suit in Jedi Academy, but I tried, as hopefully you can tell. The skin features Chewbacca wearing a full green and occasional brown suit with frayed burlap (the ghillie) to imitate grass and foliage. The green color scheme means this suit is most adept in jungle environments, specifically the jungles of Yavin 4 (hopefully). Along with the ghillie suit, Chewbacca wears a partial-face mask with a couple streaks of camouflage paint across visible portions of his face, fingerless gloves, and wraps for his feet, leaving his cute Wookiee toes partially exposed.[/quote]
This is a rather interesting modification; it's something I didn't expect to see but at the same time I'm surprised nobody has thought of this before now. Chewbacca, having lots of fur already, is the perfect candidate to skin a ghillie suit and there's not much to say that hasn't already been said by the author's own description and the screenshots. A pretty nice download and a first for the Jedi Knight series, as I'm fairly sure there's never been a ghillie suit mod before.

for my text-art-problem stems from the fact that it seems the actual posted review can't handle multiple spaces... or something. It squishes things all together on the left. For shame.
My mad skillz aside, it's not often we get quite as large a skinpack as this. This author's mad skills may even rival my own. O_= What we have here is Quinlan Vos, and he's been pimped if I do say so myself! I wasn't even aware that the Quinlan Vos model had this many model parts. I would think that the author modeled it himself, but he says [quote]New Models: no (but some new model options are now unhidden)[/quote]
Very quickly though I'd like to complement the author on his thoroughness of crediting those whose work he used. Bravo, my good man. Very nice credits.
SO. You are the first to discover this vault of wonderfulness that the Quinlan Vos model was hiding. And I am the first to review it. Excellent. Such a... tasty file. This thing is so full of customization and variation it will make your head spin and will possibly make RPers faint, fall off their chair, and break their head open on the nearest sharp furniture corner (Not that it happened to me... >_>) The variety of choices is breathtaking and makes this quite possibly the ultimate male customization pack. Ever. The best part of this skinpack, aside from the amazing skinning and new model parts, you may ask? It's a species pack. Pick and choose your parts, people. The options range from good old Jedi Vos to cybernetic commando Vos, Old Man Vos, Grim Reaper Vos, gladiator Vos, Vos as a black guy, Vos as a scantily-clad barbarian, or my personal favorite which is Pilot Vos.
There are so many choices, not only in model parts, but in skins. The amount of high-quality skins for every imaginable piece of clothing is, again, breathtaking. Using one torso he is able to create skins ranging from Hoth Clothing to Forest Camo to a commoner's tunic, and all of the skins are spectacular. Hell, there's even a skin named 'Bob' which consists of the Black Vos with a sexy, skintight green-yellow-red muscle shirt, track pants, and sneakers. The only skinning problem I have are the blue streaks on the face - they look a bit out-of-place-unrealistic; they aren't skin textured and look rather plasticky. That's such a small part though and is barely noticeable.
This pack is so massive that you're going to have to do most of the exploring on your own; it would take pages upon pages to write about everything. The screenshots offer just a small sampling of what's inside, and I just scratched the surface in my review. There's also some cool little things he added in like some great icon effects (Such as in the species customization menu in the Color Selection section). This guy has thought of nearly everything from species support for different language versions of the game to NPCs and Bot Support (Which most people leave out now-a-days). Go now, and revel in these riches.

reminds me of what she said about it.
[quote]I\'ll be honest, when I first saw this file, I didn\'t think I was going to like it. I had just finished reviewing the Punisher model recently and really didn\'t think that any skin could live up to that, even though the model was lacking in some areas. Then I realized that this was a different concept entirely. The author wondered what would the Punisher be if he stepped off the pages of his comic and into the Star Wars universe? Well, of course he\'d be a bounty hunter. Makes sense to me. So the author reskinned a Mandalorian and it\'s a decent job, in my opinion. I especially like the Punisher\'s infamous skull thingy on the helmet. That\'s just very cool. The red and blue teams skins are just that - red and blue. Though the red looks a bit more orange to me.
There\'s bot support included and some new sounds. The sounds are a bit too harsh for this skin, I think. They just don\'t fit. But it\'s nice to see a complete skin.[/quote]
Beaker\'s gone and made a non-clan version of it. What\'s changed is that the armor has been retextured and the JK logos are gone. It\'s still covered with a chrome shader, it still looks damnedly awesome and it\'s got new sounds, taken from Starcraft. Sadly, the Protoss don\'t really work out for this guy. They\'re just too... Y\'know? Nevertheless, that shouldn\'t stop you from trying it out.

[b]New sounds:[/b] Oh, yes, indeed

looks, is [b]bad, bad, [i]bad[/i][/b] unless the two models share UV maps! You can get away with it for, say, putting the Imperial officer's clothes on Luke, because they're basically the same model... but putting the saber droid's textures on the Rebel trooper? No no no!
I don't mean to sound harsh, but this is just not a good idea and that needs to be said. The textures here are just used as the Rebel's textures, so no effort has been made to have them match the rebel trooper's UV maps. The actual textures being used are the saber droid's, albeit brightened. I guess the author said "Hey, that looks kind of neat" after either making a mistake or messing around. I myself am a strong believer in having an idea [i]before[/i] making a skin rather than just messing around and then naming the theme after you've made it (this doesn't really look like a cybercop -- it's just a jumble of shapes on a model, and I guess that a 'cybercop' was the closest descriptive term the author could find).
I'm not really interested in whether anybody finds this cool -- I know some of you will, and that's more than fine -- but for the author's sake as a modder and artist, I'm going to tell him never to do this again. Those of you who think it's cool are more than welcome to do this kind of stuff yourself, but anyone who wants to grow as a modder really needs to sit down, have an idea, and go for it. Don't just jumble up stuff and shout [b]VOILA![/b] and release it to the public. Where's the art in that? :(
Everyone needs to start somewhere, but there are plenty of resources out there for anyone (and everyone) to start at a better place than this. And trust me, we're all more than willing to get you pointed in the right direction, if only you'll ask. Which is why I'm pointing the other way right now. :)

is. A greyscale reborn, with a faint sepia tone on the front torso, and green eyes which aren't even visible because of the hood's shadow. Nothing more, nothing less. According to the readme there is more, but I don't see anything on the texture, even at full zoom in Photoshop.
Apparently, this was inspired by accidentally downloading Bael's skinning tutorial. One of the rules of modding, is that you don't do something after accidentally stumbling on it. In order to mod, you need to put an effort in, which sadly hasn't been done with this skin.
Selecting an image and firing off the desaturate tool does not make a skin. Skinning involves creating a texture or heavily modifying a pre-existing texture to make it different. Not clicking one menu option in Photoshop, pressing CTRL+S, and saying "Wa-hey I made a skin!".
For any future would-be skinners, please don't start off like this. Whether it's just adding a pattern to a Raven model's skin, or taking your time, going through lots of tutorials and making something classy, please, just don't click one button and say it's a skin. Make something that takes effort, and not something that takes less than 10 seconds and has literally hundreds of duplicates on the internet already.
Anyway, if you like the looks of this, and you don't already have one of the legions of skins exactly like it, the link awaits.

got a pretty good idea of what this skin is. Not only is it somewhat hideous, but it also overwrites the default Jawa, so if this is in your base folder you'll be seeing psychodelic Jawas all day long. And if the colors weren't enough to turn your stomach it also has the author's name and clan tag on it, so it's relatively useless to anyone but him. And so, in closing, I [i]beg[/i] of you to put a little thought into your next skin. Random smatterings of color is not something you should be proud of.

at making sexy, feminine clothing for the female models for this game. Here\'s one that was a personal skin for a friend of his, Whisper. Apparently, there was a prom for her to go to in-game ... or something. Anyway, it\'s a prom dress. The default skin is a light blue with lovely little white flowers scattered on the bodice and gloves. She wears a choker with the female sex sign dangling from it. The back of the dress is my favorite part. It actually has a nice little bustle. The red and blue team skins are not, in my opinion, all that great. The skin has hair to match the dress. Meh.
Now to the part that you guys are probably eager to hear about. Yup. This skin is wearing heels.
*long pause*
Okay, okay. The lingerie. Plasma did a VERY nice job on the garter and the stockings. I was actually quite impressed with that part. Though the line up the leg in the back is red and that bothers me. Anyway, her legs look great - as does the rest of her. I was interested in seeing the heels, but was a tad disappointed when I did see how they look. For those who prefer the boots with the lingerie look, there is a version of that as well. With default and team skins. Great job, Plasma!

job on improving the Cov elite model, he has added new variations and colors including green, red, blue, gold, purple, special ops and white (default). Including new sounds, team support and bot support yay!.
The taunts and sounds are from Halo 1 the grunting sounds, too bad you couldn’t find any Halo 2 taunts they might have sounded a bit cooler. I found no errors it’s all looking very neat and tidy. You will have to use the console to access the gold purple, special ops skins, that’s pretty good because I personally hate having a load of skins on the player model option screen. What would be cool is a new shader file, to make the skin look a bit shinier, but besides that great job, nice reskins of a great model.

eyes, both of these skins have that.
Don\'t get me wrong, they\'re not very bad skins, I can see (some) resemblance to Obi-Wan in them..but they\'re too cartoony. The shading is almost phong-like...OH the new Looney Tunes movie! The way they shade 3D characters in that, THAT is how this skin looks! The face is reminiscant of Michael Jackson after face-life number 7.
In the unrobed version I had to laugh at the hippie hair, I thought I was looking at Bob Marley for a minute or 2. I also noticed that the model is quite badly done for holding a saber, the arms often disappear off into the clothing leaving you with half an arm sticking out of the chest!
They\'re not bad skins as I said but I\'m afraid they\'re not good either, with the exception of the taunts that are quite crisp and clear.

options. Most of her garb is very light in color and quite modest, while the Zabrak and the Twi\'lek had much more interesting choices. Rebis has also tweaked the make up on this female\'s face a little. Her lips are darker in color and she has a tattoo on her forehead. Another thing that seemed to bother the author was the light purple color. So Rebis has made the purple a bit deeper and I think it looks great.
This isn\'t quite a skin, it\'s just more choices for your female human character. So there\'s no bot support or new sounds ... nor would I expect them. These new options definitely give the human female an edge that she lacked before - and dare I say, the clothes actually make her a little sexy. Her skin has been lightened and it looks like her hair is darker. This is soooo staying in my base folder. It\'s amazing how just a few adjustments here and there and some recoloring can make for a good skin, cause usually it doesn\'t. ;)

just a change of the cape, which isn\'t too bad for that skin, but it could be a bit more. There is bot support woo hoo, now we can fight Vader as much as we want and yell at him. Seeing as I am more of a Jedi kind of guy so I don\'t like many sith skins, but this is quite a good skin. Just the detail was really good. He didn\'t change too much compared to the normal Darth Vader skin, but it still looks really cool. He made the eyes red so spooky ooky! His chest is a giant metal plate hence the name Armored Dark Vader. It has a nice dark feel to it, the face looks strange for some reason. Every time I look at it, it seems to change, either it’s just me or he’s just down right spooky. He looks really good with a red saber as you can see in the screenshots. He also wants to say that he thanks Matthias Büttner because he made the original version for JK2.
Therefore in the end of it all the skin looks pretty decent. It has all the necessities for the skin including the new sounds, Bot Support, and Team Colors. He might have been able to do just a little more with team colors like adding some streaks on his helmet of that color, but at least he has team colors. I like the eyes because they are more profound than the rest of his face so it gives it a small amount of detail. It seems like DaX likes to put a medium amount of detail into his skins, which is kind of nice so it doesn’t lower fps or mess around with distractions. Good job The-DaX I like this version of Vader so I think this one will stay in my archives :).

Buckles are easily seen as buckles, symbols are small, but visible and everything is where it should be. I can honestly say I feel this skin is a great improvement over his previous work. It has style, finesse and class, and I like it.
Based on the Saboteur model, this skin features some cool tattoos and some and a nice outfit. The outfit, vaguely reminiscent of some sort of killer biker, features some very nice texturing like realistic looking leather and some fancy buckles. Having seen the previous skin, it is obvious some of the items were used from there as inspiration, like the buckles. Upon closer inspection, you’ll see some nice designs on the back and arms. These tattoos change color with the two team skins to correspond to the team’s hue. It also has a nice taunt from the Star Wars films.
My issues with this skin are few and far between. I feel the back flap of the suit could have used some more texturing. Nothing is that smooth, nothing ever. It doesn’t matter how much you iron something it’ll never be that smooth. And the eyes feel poorly done to me. They look nice, but as far as I can see they’re simply the original eyes with a red coat over them. Nothing fancy. All in all, though, this skin is definitely worth a download, especially of you play with Maddog. Good Work.

(although you could equally say a roughed up Han Solo in a western, since Harrison Ford played both characters). There are three variations included, the obvious team versions and a normal version. While Indiana Jones may look fairly normal in some games, although I don't think that a Lightsaber really suits him that well but if there was a wip then it would be perfect.
Overall the skin looks fairly like Indiana Jones from any of the first three movies, and the western type skin does actually suit him fairly well in JK3. The skin has been fairly well made and as mentioned before does actually look like him, although it could also pass as a roughed up version of Han Solo as well. While Indiana Jones doesn't really suit the Star Wars universe for the most part, the skin does look great in the game itself and as an added bonus it also works in Jedi Knight 2.

have beaten it, I come back here to get some files reviewed. Now, what should I find but a skin of the character that the entire Castlevania series is based on: Dracula.
It uses the human male Jaden model as a base, though my first thoughts are that it is not that great a model to use. However, this actually works quite well for the most part.
Now, when I look at the default skin, I tend to think of the Castlevania version of Dracula. It is extremely similar to that, with the exception of the hair. The hair is only held back, though, by the model itself. The skinning is quite well done. It is quite easy to take a look at the skin and think of it as a vampire. There are three suits and two heads included in this little pack.
The first head is like that of the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night version of Dracula. The hair is longer, and grayish-white. The facial hair is in the proper goatee style that Dracula has in that game as well. The second head is like the more typical Dracula look: very short, black hair, but with a goatee as well. The first body skin is a typical Dracula clothing style, something that looks like what a count would wear. It also fits the SotN theme here, though I am not sure if that is what the author was after, since it makes no mention of the inspiration in the readme. The red team skin, aka the second skin, is, of course, red. It reminds me of something I would see from the male Necromancer in Guild Wars, it is like red armor with web-like designs on it. The blue skin reminds me of something that an old pirate might wear. Of course, it would have to be a rich pirate to maintain that kind of look, but still... Ah well. It\'s much better to take a look at the screenshots to see how they look, since it is much more accurate and easier than trying to describe it. Anyway, the skinning is all very well done, very convincing, and very fitting of the Dracula theme.
There are also some weapons included. Three, to be exact. One is a ghost. Yes, you read that right, a ghost. When selected, it brings a slightly transparent model floating around you, moaning just like you would expect a ghost to. The other two weapons are two variations of wings, both of which hang of the arms. They do, of course, make the proper \'whoosh\' sound when swinging em around, but sadly, they won\'t let you fly. :p
Included is support for everything: Team, NPC, Sounds (Though they are just Kyle\'s sounds with some effects added on), etc.
All in all, I would call this a very excellent pack. Any Dracula fan should download this. Even if you aren\'t that much of a Dracula fan, I\'d suggest giving this a download anyway.

the other things we should blame on rap music instead of a silly, albeit well done skin) for this one is an evil, evil zombie.
I was quite torn up on how to review this, and whether it would be fair of me to judge this skin in it's entirety. I decided that no, after all not that much has changed. With all due respect to the author, when I played with this skin, I could honestly not tell the difference between this, and the original. Why you ask? Because all that's changed is his mouth and partly torso.
Ever hear the term 'Fascist Pig'?
Of course you have.
(Excuse the pun) One might say this skin is the embodiment of this. This Nazi zombie for one has absolutely no table manners, nor is he particularly skilled at using a napkin.
The original's snobby looking mustached jaw has been replaced with a bloodied set of yellow looking teeth and he's now has pale eyes. The teeth seem to be skinned perfectly fine, you can't really see any gums or lips, but that's not something you notice outside of ModView. His beautiful uniform also suffered on our zombies bloody rampage, alas, it now has a very large blood stain running down form his cheeks. The stain itself is neither particularly well, or badly done, it looks fine, but not as realistic as it could.
Oh yes, this pack also includes new sounds for the original Nazi Officer and Hitler, but due to the authors courtesy you will need to download those skins separately. When I listened to the Hitler sounds, Vegito from Dragon Ball Z was constantly on my mind, for the zombified sounds feel like there are two men speaking at once. The Nazi Officer sounds sounded very unnatural and robotic, and maybe a tad too loud. The Nazi Undead includes the exact same sounds, except modified to be a bit deeper and more demonic. I guess the biggest fault of the sounds are the many repeats, for example there is only one pain sound, as well as taunt.
If you enjoy Nazis or zombies give this a download, if you enjoy both, your in for quite a treat.

of. There are two versions: normal attire and an armored version. The armored version is probably the one where I had the most concerns. Why? Well the armor he chose(the Desann plate) didn\'t seem to really effectively portray armor. Plate armor tends to be thicker and require a seperate model piece to be pulled off effectively. Desann could get away with this because he had a little bit of that visible. The Jedi model was meant to be all clothes. Still, it was a well planted try.
Now comes the part about that rare quality: home-made sounds. The author went so far as to use his own voice for sounds. My verdict? Eh, they were okay. Some of the sounds were very awkward. The pain sounds were particularly a little void of pain =_= and I know what pain sounds like.
I do, however, like the \"You will fail..\" taunt. That one was pretty malevolent.
Overall, a well-personalized and interesting skin. BITE ONTO THE BANDWIDTH CAKE FOR THIS SPECIAL SURPRISE!

of a General Kenobi skin I once saw, in the way that the clothing is set up. The armor on him is white, while his clothes are brown. There are three different heads to choose from, one a normal face, one a scarred one, and the last an evil looking metal mask. Also there are unrobed, robed, and hooded versions for each head, giving a nice selection to choose from.
Each of the changes were well done, though it seems that the clothing was mostly just a color edit with a filter put on it. Even the facial hair looks good, even though it is skinned on, not modeled. The only thing that I did not really care too much for is the robe, which reminds me of a burlap sack.

one.
The skin itself, well, let's just say it didn't meet my expectations, but it's very competent nonetheless.
I'm just going to head straight onto problems which may need adressing for a future version. Overall, the detail level on the textures was quite low. The skinning work looked somewhat flat, and although there was a decent amount of depth in there, it's not that noticable. Enhance the detail, make the cloth textures look more noticeably like cloth. The little details on the skins look equally plain and simple, to the extent that they look drawn on in MSPaint. The way to fix that is to blend colors, use pixels of different shades to add a little variance, and to enhance the looks of the textures. The places where skin textures have been added on look equally bland, so adding a little texturing there would be good. Most likely the Master Sticky on the forums has a good tutorial for skinning flesh.
Aside from texturing issues, I noticed a few tiny breaks/overlaps in the mesh itself, but those don't seem to have been within the author's control for this skin.
Oh, the sounds also need toning down in the way of volume, and need to be dulled down a little bit with an equalizer tool.
Overall, it's a competent effort and definitely has the look of Isis (aside from the fact that the face is that of Carrie Fisher). With a few more improvements, mostly increasing texture detail, this could be on a lot of must-have download lists. As it stands, a good skin which can only get better, so I'd recommend the author to refine it for a second version.

the hair of this skin is solid black, the face looks to be a pale peach with little variation in it, with the exception of the area around the eyes. The tie is photosourced, and why you would photosource a freaking TIE when you can make one yourself? The robes don’t look too bad, as they aren’t paintbucketed, but then we come to the hands, which don’t really looks like gloves, sure, they’re white, but the hand is has the contrast turned WAAAY up and then there’s a symbol photosourced onto the hand. Some other things on the skin look like they weren’t finished, and the boots look paintbucketed.
When you’re making something, it’s nice if you try and make it look good. You could start off a skin with a solid color, but naturally you would add colors and then later blend them together, right? I don’t really see that in this skin. It looks like it was hastily done. (Although it probably wasn’t, seeing as I have *gasp* attempted a simple skin (looong time ago. No you may not see it!) Anyways, I’d say put a bit more work into the skin, maybe ask for advice once in a while, and try not to photosource incredibly simple things.

version, this skin depicts the answer to "What if Vader returned from the dead?" It's actually really awesome. I absolutely adore the malevolence of his undeathly cape. It's quite fiendish. There are three variants. One of which I will display it's oddness later.
The first variant is the most amusing. Basically you have a reskinned vader to look like they either buried him in his armoror the pyre didn't do a good enough job burning. It's not a bad skin. Only flaw I would say is the lack of putting a cap on the toasted hand, but that's only a nitpick so you're in the clear in my book.
The second variant is basically Vader without the helmet. The zombie face looked a little grainy, but I didn't see anything too terribly wrong with it. Other than the helmet going away, nothing different.
The third is...well..interesting. I will let the screenshot speak on my behalf. I'm pretty certain it was an error. However, I wasn't sure as to what the intended skin was to look like, so I didn't mess with the .skin to fix it. Speaking of which, mr. Razzial Human, I would advise against a .doc readme. Granted, it's not against policy to submit one, I just believe that some people, believe it or not, may not have MS word. However, that was nothing against you. Nobody tends to really read readmes most of the time..
Other than that, a rather appealing undead skin. I myself will most likely keep it within the contents of my base folder, and with that said, I give this the Retruthan Seal of Awesome Evil. *stamp*

The idea behind this skin was based on Estrugaz´s concept art of a zombie vader that was ported to this skin one year ago. You can view the concept art here: http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/2879/darkabidikaizombievader7ew.jpg

The appeal of these skins varies from person to person, and I think the best thing to do would be to judge this skin from the screenshots, and download it if you want it.

is to not photosource, but if you have to, then keep it to the bare minimum.
Okay, the basic synopsis of this is that the author took the jedi skin, made the torso black, then pasted a bunch of photosourced objects onto it. The result is a hastily made, pixelated skin that doesn\'t look good at all. Take some time, and actually skin the things that you wanted on your skin by hand. It might be really hard, and it might take a while, but you\'ll be much more satisfied at the end.
Oh, if you\'re trying to do hair, like you did on the hands, black lines doesn\'t cut it. You need to actually take some time, and make it look like hair, and not a black line. And if I remember correctly, the areas where Wolverine\'s blades came out of his wrists were not black. They were the color of normal flesh. Another thing, abrupt changes like those done on the beard are not good things. It looks like you took a picture of a guy with a full beard, then took away the part around the chin. Another thing, the jedi model is not suited at all for Wolverine. A different model would serve him much better. One last thing before I wrap this up. If you\'re going to photosource for an icon, actually make it look reasonable. A picture of wolverine with a red background, with white surrounding wolverine\'s head just doesn\'t look good.

skin. That blurry orange symbol that was on the first version is now gone, and shaders have been added, as well as bot support, npc support, singleplayer support, team skins, and sounds. I can certainly say that the skin looks better from last time, but it still needs a little work. The shaders, while cool, utilize the glow effect. What does that mean to you? It means you have to have r_dynamicglow set to 1. This also means that your ingame FPS will be cut in half. For some of you, your graphics card doesn\'t support dynamic glow. But other than that, the wolfs head on Cloud\'s shoulder pulsates. The biggest thing was the shader used on the skin. While it serves its purpose, it doesn\'t extend to cover the face. That\'s just disappointing that the author didn\'t notice that while testing this skin.
Now for a quick overview of the team skins. Instead of being white, they go with a black theme. And they aren\'t solid black! They do have red and blue shading on them, and the hair for each one is different. That\'s it.

what he wanted on this skin, but just didn\'t have the know-how to get it to look right. The colors are flat with no shading, certain parts of the skinmap overlap others (specifically some black parts in the wrong places on the legs and shoulder), and some of the color choice is questionable. [b]But[/b] it\'s obvious the author had something specific in mind when he went about creating this skin, and that gives him bonus points with me.
You all can obviously see the negatives, but consider the positives too. Parts of the armor are clearly outlined and colored, and even without the shading they so desperately need it\'s easy to tell what they\'re supposed to be. The author went as far as to change the boots - even the soles - which most people just copy - or retain - from another skin. The author did put effort into this, that much is clear, and for that he deserves respect. All he needs is the proper software, some good tutorials, and a mind to use them.
My suggestions:
-If you\'re using MS paint, don\'t. If you\'re using a more versatile piece of software, learn how to use it.
-Go find some tutorials for whatever software you\'re using. Visit the forums for advice. They\'ll help you.
-Go with a theme, as you have here, but go all the way. Samurai\'s are Japanese - your guy is not.
Just remember that improvement comes with time and effort.

was a little bit off on coloration on the hair and some of the clothes. I also would have prefered to see a verison of her wearing her pants and her larger, short-sleeve jacket. Well, it looks like the author of this skin had those same feelings, and decided to reskin her.
I must say, it is a good effort, but it doesn't live up to what I would have hoped. The author did make the clothes and hair a little darker, but because of the restrictions of the model, the author could not do much else. To make the pants, all the author did was color the upper thighs and lower hips with a pure blackish-grey color. It... kinda looks like she is wearing pants now... but... I'm wondering why some detail could not have been made to make it look wrinkly and more like pants. The author claims in the readme that this skin was made almost entirely in MS Paint, but because of the small change in brightness on the rest of the skin, I'm thinking the author must have had Photoshop or Gimp in his use. With programs like that, detailing those bland grey "pants" would have been easy.
[u]Bottom Line[/u]
A good effort, but lacking from what I would expect. Perhaps a version with improvments will come, or the author of the original model will model her with pants?

Just some small details here and there make a skin look really great. Just like what he\'s done here with Neo Reborn.
It\'s nothing more than a white, black and gray Reborn, at first glance. But if you look a bit closer at the face, you\'ll see that half of his face is hidden or painted out or something by a deep blackness. The other half is painted like a twisted clown kinda thing. I\'m reminded of Kerr. ;) (Never mind that.) His left eye is covered by a black star and what appears to be bloody tears trail down his white cheek and down to his exaggerated red smile. Freaky. And very cool.

everyone\'s all impressed by is Lord of the Rings. The books are great and the movies were done really well. (I\'m SO crossing my fingers for Peter Jackson to get Best Director.) We got to see the Eye of Sauron, but not the Mouth of Sauron (we should see that in the extended edition though - yay!) - but no one really knows what Sauron is supposed to look like. So I suppose you can make him look however you want. FoJ_JM_Sauron took the liberty of doing just that for his own skin.
Appropriately, he\'s a part of the clan Fellowship of the Jedi. And so SW and LotR merge. It\'s not that far of a stretch. It looks like on his skin, the markings on the ring are around the legs and arms. Didn\'t it say something like \"One ring to rule them all; One ring to find them, One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness, bind them\"? Anyhow, the skin is mostly green and very dark. I think I like the red skin the best. The red is more of an earthy tone, and it\'s accented with some yellow here and there. The blue skin is a bit too bright of a blue for me - but it looks good anyhow.
There\'s no bot support, but there is a custom taunt. The author claims he took it directly from one of the LotR movies. This isn\'t how I pictured Sauron, but that\'s not really the author\'s intention. His name is Sauron and this is his skin. So ... yeah. Anyway, I like the skin. Good job. :)

especially with the AI it has, quite superb...anyway this isn\'t a Halo review!
So, this is an update to the old Covenant skin, this time including the sounds it had in JK2 and very nicely done team colors. There is nothing quite like a detailed new player model is there? Beats a reskin in my books any day! The detail is there in the skin, the team colors are clear and well shaded..but there are no shaders which I think would really add an edge to this skin, make them slightly metallic in places and it would look superb.
One other thing...no bot support for them, which is a shame really, it would finish these skins off nicely.
The sounds are great to have there now too, an english speaking Covenant is rather worrying! For any Halo fans...in fact for any new skin people out there, do get this one, it looks good and even if you don\'t use it, you\'ll be able to see others who do!

author gives no information as to who this character is, or why he is called Gram. Is that short for \'Grampa\'? Maybe he is very light and only weighs a gram? I always like a bit info about a character to be included in the readme as it tells you more about the idea behind the skin.
In any case, this is a pretty good reskin, it is quite simple and plain and has a clean colour scheme of purple sweater and grey pants, so it might appeal to a wide range of people looking for a personal skin to use, unless you hate purple of course!
For next time I think adding in a bit more info or a back story would be cool, along with some team skins perhaps. All in all though a nice clean simple skin here, give it a download if you like the look of it! :)

familiar with the Alliance uniforms in Mass Effect, I have to say that this is an accurate and well made skin. Not only that, but it is the authors first skin too! Impressive, most impressive.
Of course, there is one inaccuracy in that the naval uniforms in Mass Effect do not have belts, but as the author states in his readme, this was simply a limitation of the model used, and I have to say the belt doesnâ€™t really look out of place at all, the buckle even features the Alliance insignia.
As far as improvements go, the only noticeable thing visually is that there are seams on the shoulders where the textures meet. I didnâ€™t really notice any other seams on the skin, but the ones on the shoulders are noticeable and could do with some better blending together. The beard also should be a little darker, or the hair lighter, as they donâ€™t fit that well together currently.
Other than that, the only issue I want to mention is that though there is a black version of the skin included, there doesnâ€™t appear to be any icon in the skin selection menu to select it, though there is an icon in the .pk3 file. I am not familiar with skinning, but I can only presume this is a bug. You can however still use this skin by typing /model alliancenavy/black in the console. Personally what I would do for next time is use this black skin for the blue team skin, as the blue team skin at the moment is the same as the default skin. But thatâ€™s just a suggestion! Personally I really love the red team skin, red and gold is always a cool combination! Maybe for next time you could even use a sound-bite from Admiral Hackett for a taunt... ;)
For your first skin this is excellent work, and I hope you will make some more Mass Effect themed skins for us in the future! :D

Thaede Wolphe - a reskin of the Jedi model.
[quote]A reskin of the jedi model with a random name.
There is also team skins and an "old" version, which has faded clothes and grey hair, etc.
Also included is an optional E-11 overwrite. It's not a whole lot different from the
original, but it looks decent I suppose[/quote]
When I first saw this file in the queue Q, I went "Oh, look, yet another Jedi recolor..." - I turned out to be wrong though :p
[b]Thaede Wolphe[/b]
The skin itself looks like a special ops Jedi of sorts, to be honest. As you can see on, well, nearly all of the screenshots, it's essentially the Jedi model wearing dark clothing and a breastplate. I have to admit it's very well done and actually looks quite good though.
Additionally, the hair has been darkened, again looking pretty good.
There are also two team skins, which you can see on screenshots 6 & 7.
In all, this is by far the part of the file I liked most.
[b]Old Thaede Wolphe[/b]
As you can see on the last screenshot, there was supposed to be an old version of Thaede Wolphe. But alas, something, somewhere, went horribly wrong.
The old version is unusable due to the simple fact that not a single texture on it works. It is in fact a giant, oozing mass of white & black textureless horror.
So yeah, would like to see that fixed :p
[b]E-11 reskin[/b]
To complete the pack, there's also an optional E-11 reskin in here. This isn't the most exciting thing though, as it seems to be it's basically a darkened E-11.
In all, definitely promising, but a second version fixing that textureless mass of oozing death and decay would be nice. ;)
So far, I like it though.

[url=http://www.rammstein.com.uy/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Ra-richard.jpg]looks like he likes to eat peoples livers[/url]! Mind you, spiky black hair and rock/metal themed outfits tend to do that to people.
This is Richard Z. Kruspe, member of Rammstein, one of the few non native English speaking bands I am aware of that has become popular in English speaking countries. Then again I'm not much into following music, I just listen to it, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong there!
This skin is based on his style for 2009/2010, and from the reference pictures I found, it is pretty accurate. I'm not sure I would have chosen the Luke model for a reskin of this guy, but I have to say it has turned out pretty well. Of course there are problems with having to put a skin texture (he is bare chested) over some of Luke's clothing, such as the shoulders and around the neck, which doesn't look quite right, especially the neck. The issue with the shoulders (and the back) is more that the skin texture is too plain and doesn't fit with the detailed chest skin texture.
I also think this skin ought to have some custom sounds, maybe a soundbite from the man himself or something like that, since Luke's somewhat, ahem, sissy, voice doesn't really fit with a band member of Rammstein. :P
Lastly, this skin does have team skins, but they are just the default Luke team skins. The skin itself is pretty good, although it still needs a bit of work as I mentioned above. I definitely think it needs proper team skins and some new sounds though.
Overall, good work here unleashed_dark_force, keep up the modding, I look forward to seeing any future versions of this skin you release! :)

creepy eh?
What we have here is a reskin of the Cultist model. There are a few features that I really like on this skin and that make it stand out from the crowd of Cultist skins. First of all, the eyes, they actually glow! I have seen many skins with scary looking red or other evil coloured eyes, but they never glowed. Actually having the eyes glow ads that extra level of creepyness, don't you think?
Secondly there is a very nice shader applied to the skin. It sort of looks like a shiny shader, but you will notice (if you have dynamic glow on) that from certain angles the shine actually has a slight glow to it, like it is reflecting a strong light. This is a very nice feature also and one I have only really seen done in maps, I don't recall seeing it on a skin before. Lastly there are the new sounds, which are Ragnos sounds. To be honest, the Ragnos set of sounds is not used nearly enough in my opinion; they sound really cool and fit very nicely with a creepy skin such as this!
There are character customisation options included, which work both in singleplayer and multiplayer and allow you to mash together the default and team skin body parts in whatever order you like.
There are also team skins included, each with eyes that denote the team colour and slightly differently coloured clothing. Personally I think that the red team skin looks like some kind of mummy, risen from its tomb...
[b]*thinks of Averus*[/b]
Ehhem, anyway, all in all a very nice set of skins here which I am most impressed with! There were no bugs that I could find when testing, so that's all good. If you guys fancy a creepy looking skin to use ingame, then I strongly recommend you try this one. ;)

big character in the Star Wars series, with their own order, war, and even language! Yes there is a language called Mando'a that is popular among Mandalorian fanatics. I know little about them, though, I don't read any EU books, comics, blah. However I do know that Laam'inui has merged the Mando model out there with Mars Marshall's reskinned Galactic Marine, reskinned by him of course :) The reason he did this because he thought it looked cool, and I agree! He did a nice job here. What exactly has been changed do you ask? Well, the helmet and the little skirt of the Galactic Marine have been added to the Mandalorian armor. That skirt, ya know? Why did the republic fashion some of their toughest men with skirts? Anyways, this also includes a version with no helmet at all, and red and blue versions for those of you who play the team oriented game types. It also includes new taunts, however it contains the word 'hell' in the taunt. I know this doesn't seem like anything but trust me there [i]are[/i] people who get worked up over this stuff. That aside, this pack seems like it was made for RPing, and the author even pointed that out, so there's the... convenience factor. That's it, really. Enjoy.

would go to the Kel Dor, who I've always liked with their gas masks and funny heads that look all brainy and squishy. This Kel Dor skin, not surprisingly, contains both a gas mask and a squishy brainy head! It also contains some other pretty neat goodies that I'll get into later.
This Kel Dor skin is the work of Valis_Elensar who is returning after nearly 4 months since his last skin, [url=http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/KelDor_Toran;98627]Kel'Dor Toran[/url]. This is only the author's second skin and I'm surprised at how much he's improved since his first. The project's a reskin of the default Kel Dor model and the default and red skins aren't that spectacular, being just average reskins of the default Kel Dor model. Sure, they look nice, but the red is essentially a red/black rehash of the default skin. Where this pack [i]really[/i] shines is the blue team skin which shows up as a hologram. The hologram effect [i]could[/i] probably be improved by doing a bit more, such as adding scanlines to the textures; the effect is simple enough to achieve but it's something cool that most people don't even try.
A pretty neat pack - give it a download if it floats your boat.

proper terms escape me right now @_@;.) The common theme is pretty simple: Recolored armor bits, bandanna, obi, and additional Kanji on the back, representing either Honor or Sensei, as I was told.
Everything looks fine, really. The only bothersome thing about the skins is that some lack icons, and there seems to superfluous copies of the skin under different names. Could have cut those out, and replaced it with some halfway decent sounds that don't require a previous model.
Ah well, it's not that bad. Overall, a decent set of skins. Might be worth keeping for me, personally. We'll see =_= Bandwidth as you will

time, Desann is quite a difficult character to reskin, because the model is so distinctive. There are only so many things you can change a giant lizard guy into afterall! Once again I am thoroughly impressed by Exodus_1161’s work here. Not only do we have improved versions of the two skins we had last time, but also included is the ability to customise Gensun in the character customisation screen. This cool feature is available in [b]both[/b] singleplayer and multiplayer!
So now you can choose between various different types of clothing and a few different coloured heads for Gensun. Personally my favourite clothing here was the ‘pulse’ one, where the shoulder pad pulses with an orange ‘energy like’ glow!
Once again the combination of colours used here is excellent and very effective. This guy is much scarier than Desann I think! ;)
I didn’t find any bugs during testing, so well done again there mate. Bot support is included, however this time new sounds have also been included. They sound like a heavily distorted version of the original Desann sounds, but they have been very well made. Once again these sounds make Gensun seem a lot scarier than Desann. Personally I think you should do an improved version of the actual Desann skin, Exodus, since after seeing how you made Gensun look, Desann now looks pretty tame! ;)
All in all an excellent reskin of the Desann model here, the original was very impressive, but this is even more so!
This is an excellent set of skins, and I recommend a download! :)

Now, on with the review!
I used to watch the old Stargate a fair bit when it was on TV, and I also think the film is great, but I have never seen Stargate Atlantis, so I don’t really know what its like. I have seen plenty of pictures however, and there is a few Stargate Atlantis files on this site, including a map. And from what I have seen, the skin AmonR@ brings us here is indeed a good representation of a Stargate Atlantis soldier.
I think the author has done an excellent job of re-skinning the Base JKA Jedi model, it looks accurate to the pictures that I looked at, and it also appears to have some custom sounds too. Although it sounded like they were taken from another base JKA player character.
All in all this is a cleanly done reskin, I couldn’t find any bugs or anything wrong with it. So well done there mate! :)
As with all mod’s of any kind though, there are always some bits that can be improved upon.
One small point would be to try and put your mod in a .zip file next time. It isn’t anything of great importance, but it just makes it a bit easier for people who download your mod to use it, since probably the majority of people are more familiar with .zip files as opposed to .rar files.
Maybe the addition of some custom taunts from the TV show might be good as well, to give the skin that bit extra ‘coolness’. ;)
One last thing is that the blue team skin appeared to be exactly the same as the default skin (since part of the default skins uniform is blue anyway). This isn’t anything major, but it can be a little confusing at times. I would recommend using maybe a stronger, or perhaps darker shade of blue for the blue team skin, just to set them apart.
All in all though, a very good reskin here, which I am sure fans of Stargate Atlantis will especially enjoy! :)
So, if you like the look of this skin, give it a download!

skin that I have seen requested, and I can see why. It makes use of the HS Anakin model. More specifically, a hooded and robed version of the model. The clothes are all black, as is the face, with some green on the face and arms. In ModView, unimpressive. The texturing does resemble cloth on the robe, but lacks the proper shading element to make it realistic, and the green appears to be done in the style of MS Paint. Fortunately, though, you won\'t notice ingame. The green parts have a glow to them, making it better off in the style that it was done in. To be done more realistically would be to actually take away from the effect of the glow. I also like what has been done with the robe. It is no longer the same style as the one worn in the Star Wars movies. It goes back a bit from the front, and the lower middle in the back has been separated into two pieces. Included is a robeless version, which is also used for the red team skin, while the blue uses the default skin.
Overall, while this is not the best quality that I have ever seen, it works well in game. The only real disappointment I had was that there was no bot or npc support included. I\'d suggest a download, as it is really up to the player if this is suitable for use or not. Give it a download and see.

skin is pretty cool. This is allegedly a portrayal of an Anakin Skywalker concept art drawing, turned into an original character. The result is Jeon Vreek, an alleged Jedi Bounty Hunter with a jaded look and a personality to match. The skin\'s attire matches that of a hunter who seems to be constantly on the move, with no past, no friends, and no upbeat persona. Skin quality and texture are nominal, with a nicely done shredded cloak hem for the skins.
Only noticeable downside for some people is that it may lack 3/4 of the extras =_= BUT THATS EASILY OVERLOOKED FOR MANY. FEAR, AS I COMMAND YOU TO DOWNLOAD STUFF.

sorry about that.
And on to the review. I suppose Kingdom Hearts fans are already cheering and celebrating (don\'t blame me if you\'re not, I have no idea how the fanboy/fangirl-ism goes), but do contain yourselves for a little while longer. Anyway, what we have here is Tryforce\'s Sora model and a mix of Shady\'s and Darthdie\'s skinning. I have to admit, it looks pretty bad. The areas modified from the original skin have simply been paintbucketed over, there\'s no sign of even an attempt at shading anything. There\'s not much more to say. It captures the colors quite well, but that\'s pretty much all it does. The end, I guess.

Note: Next time please clean up the folders. Having useless files in there just pumps the filesize a bit. And everyone already has the _humanoid.gla, you don\'t need to include that in the pk3.

KhaosNite's modifications, although I'm running without comparison (I looked but couldn't find the original anywhere, sowwy).
The first thing you're going to notice, if you've seen the original, is the hair recoloration. While it's close, the color is off, as Jack O'neill seems to have copper colored hair. Minus points on authenticity. Eh, who cares about a little thing like that? In truth, I think the hair could use a little reskinning, rather than a recoloring, because I always thought that this model's hair looked... well... iffy.
Secondly, the blue (dress uniform) skin has rank insignia and medals removed, according to the readme. Now, that's a double-edged sword. The color of the uniform is off (from my ref pics) - it should be a vibrant shade of navy blue, not gray (-authenticity, again). Without the medals, there's a lot of empty space on the uniform, and it doesn't look so good with so much blank space - it makes the skin look plain, because there's nothing "going on". I'm not saying it looks bad, I'm just saying that maybe the space available could have been used better.
Third, the on-base uniform has had the green shirt changed to blue. There's also a black version, which apparently appeared in later seasons, but I wouldn't know about that - I stopped watching when the show became a little predictable.
Fourth, the camo version. I assume this is Dr Jackson's work, but if anything makes the pack worth getting, it's the camo version.
Anyway, there aren't any overt errors, so I'll say what I would change if I were doing a v2 of this.
On the three on-base uniforms, the vests need more detail. The detail is there, but it doesn't stand out very much, and that gives the vest a flat black appearance. Same with the actual blue/green parts - they could be more obviously textured. As for the black, well, you may want to change that to a dark gray, because black skins tend to look ugly without shaders, and this is a case were shaders are not an option. Change it to a dark gray, just dark enough to make it appear black but light enough to show the texture.
For the dress uniform, change it to [url="http://macfran.com/stargate/stargatepics/jack-daniel/Jack04.jpg"]navy blue, like this[/url], because it just ain't Jack O'neill without Jack O'neill's suit. Also, I suggest adding the medals back on, because the skin looks really empty without them. The shoulder pips can stay gone, though - never did like shoulder pips on a suit.
The camo version is pretty much fine as it is - just tweak the vest, make it look a bit more like denim, because right now it kinda looks like it's made from glitter and sand if you look closely. =/
The model itself, well, as I said, I think the hair needs reskinning from scratch, but that's quite a feat, so I don't blame you if you don't do it. The face definitely needs changing. I know you're thinking that you'd have to edit the mesh, but actually, with a little focus, time and effort you can change the face of a model entirely by merely retexturing it. As it is now, the face is close, but it's just not Jack.
You may also want to consider adding bot and NPC files, so that those of us without a suitable connection for online gaming can enjoy seeing this skin over the course of gameplay.
Anyway, overall this pack is a must for a Stargate mod collector, and equally essential for a good Stargate RP. This is also likely the best modern-age soldier skin we're going to get any time soon, since most of what we get are Jedi, Sith or Reborn, with the occasional Pokémon thrown in (that Mewtwo model still makes me laugh like hell when I see it in JKA), so even if you're not into Stargate but like modern-style dudes, this is pretty much for you.
As for [i]you[/i], KhaosNite, I severely hope you do a v2 of this, and maybe add in more variants; possibly with some home-brewed designs to show off your potential to the max. :)

been painted on. It looks a little weird out of context, but does the job when put together with the rest of the skin. The boots are new, supposedly, and in my humble opinion they kind of clash with the rest of the skin.
I guess the biggest benefit of this is that the author has added in single player species support. There are no team colors in the species menu, so the only real benefit of this is that you can use the skin in single-player if you so choose. This is kind of a bummer since the skin itself [i]does[/i] have team support -- makes me wonder why the author didn\'t add those in for some variance. Bot support is also included, but no NPC support.

based off of his main costume.
This is Jedi_Master_Vox\'s first time at skining and releasing so it says in the readme, and for a first time skin, its pretty good. The textures on the torso, arms, legs all seem 80 percent accurate to me, though the author has made multiple errors around the shoulders, under the arms and around the waste, which can be seen via the screenshots. Facial wise to me this doesnt look much like David Tennant. I think an attempt has been made which is good to see, but I\'m not sure its the best of models to use for a Doctor Who re-skin head wise. But I could be wrong. Im trying to find a resemblance in the face but I couldn\'t really spot one:(.
Now to my favourite part of this skin, the shoes. I always liked the fact the latest Doctor Who wore converses, gave him that kinda old school feel. Though I never remember seeing him wearing blue ones but rather white, I can let that pass though ;). There not perfectly in-line with the model but still a good attempt in this area and im glad the author didn\'t miss them out.
For a first skin this is definitely not bad at all. Improvement wise, I suggest working on your face textures and getting rid of those skinning errors on the clothing, if you plan on releasing a V2.

skin has basically been painted red and black in entirety. The default is basically black and red, markings naturally all over the body. What bothers me is the contrasting screenshot and what I personally saw in the skin. I don't believe the shader works ingame, and honestly, I'm not a big expert in shader fixing. Case in point, this addition comes with a four armed version of Grievous added to the pile. Honestly, it's not that great of an addition, because you need the original grievous4 model for the sabers.
I honestly hope this satisfies the user database that it was intended for, because I honestly am not sure that this will make it too far in terms of municipal use..

as his previous works have been, Tobe still displays his handicraft by turning a mere reborn into the classic VAMPIRE. =_= Now, this isn\'t your typical Count Dracula vampire. This vampire seems to come from a more creature-esque background, a crazed bloodthirsty denizen of the night. As such, Tobe gave his creation H00GE CLAWZ. Seriously, these things would make Freddy Krueger look inadequate. Well okay, at least most of them XD. Two sets of the six are a little more humane. A few of these have interesting stances. Definitely adds to the whole atmosphere of this skin.
I will say, however, that custom taunts would have perfected this skin\'s appeal. The dull sound of \"Take that\" kills the whole vampire vibe. Granted, he merely changed a sounds.cfg for a howler\'s set, but howlers aren\'t human, and therefore do not care to taunt their opponents ¬_¬;
Overall, this skin definitely would beat any other reborn reskin any time of the week. Vampire Enthusiasts would be wise to poke and prod at this mod angril with a pygmy spear. To do with any other tool would result in death =_=.

skins, but I call it reskin because there\'s the main default skin, and the team colors are variations of reborns, though different from the default reborns and this default skin.
The main skin is black and white, with some new designs over em. The blue team skin is pretty much a white clothed reborn with some symbols on it. The red team skin is, in my opinion, the best. That\'s prolly because I like the colors red and black though. :p This team color is just that: mostly black with some red spots on em. As with the other two, symbols have been added to this skin as well. Each skin has had a mask put onto the face, a scar over an eye, and some light patches at the top of the head that appears to be hair that you can\'t see unless you look up under the hood.
So, again, I thought these skins were well done, though maybe not the most original ones out there. Some of the symbols that were added actually appear to have some blending to em to make em seem as if they were supposed to be there, instead of looking like a sticker slapped on. Others, though, look the opposite, which was a bit disappointing...
Speaking of disappointing, no extras, such as bot, npc, sound, have been added to this file. Those would have made up for the symbol problems. :p

one at that as it was done in 2004, back when the JkFiles community hasn\'t yet heard the name Inyri Forge. This is one of the strangest reskins I have seen in quite a while, who would have though one of those big nasty blue Noghri could become an adorable kitty? Ok, not adorable, really ugly... But that\'s beside the point.
Surprisingly enough, the skin has been photosourced in its entirety. But never fear, it\'s been done well enough that you can\'t tell unless someone informs you. But what would be a kitty if he didn\'t sound like one? Not much. Fortunately we won\'t have this problem as there are very fuzzy kitty sounds included.
There really isn\'t much more I can say about the skin, take a look at the screenshots, and if you like what you see, then by all means feel free to download.

how much the looks have got to do with the model or the skin, but there's something appealing about this skin which I can't quite put my finger on yet. He has a robotic face, a bit like a medical droid's, with a blue glowing eye, and a red broken one. (The colours change in the team skins) He;s wearing leather gloves and some black shoulder pads. I think I'll point out that the textures for the shirt-thing are a bit non-descript, nothing much of interest here. In fact if I was to make a criticism I would say the author has used far too much black. I think he needs a wider colour palette, perhaps add some silver metal here and there, and some more potent shader effects. The ones in it now are okay, but I didn't seem to notice them against the black.
The lower half of the skins is also of a similar style and colour - black. He's wearing black boots and black trousers... oh, and black shin-guard things :) There's bot support which is a nice addition, and team skins, but the thing which this skin really needs is a decent set of sounds. Add this, and perhaps the previously mentioned stuff and we'll be looking at a fine skin, especially as he's also added it to the NPC list :). At the moment its good, but its not great.

scheme of their owner, and as such look pretty cool…although as far as I can tell now they’re totally reskinned, and no part of them is still as the original model was. So these were made for a RP – so what? They look cool. But…wouldn’t you think that his droids would match a little bit better…or just be one model of droid? It’s just so much cooler to have one type of guard than three….and it looks better in parades!
The author was wondering about sounds. I’ll just tell him how I learned to use custom sounds…and that’s to look at the default skins, more specifically sounds.cfg, and just experiment.

it was only slight. What the author has strived to do in this is to recolor the default Kel Dor male textures to be more distinct. In one of the heads there is slightly more color, in some of the lower torso options it’s been recolored, but the texture layout stays the same. So this mod just recolors the Kel Dor male skin. However, it does look good, so you should give it a try, although I would have liked it more if the author had made it more distinct. Oh, one other thing, this skin is brighter than the default skin, but that’s really only something you see with direct comparison.

his own. Jan as a Sith... not the first time this has been attempted, but it\'s not a bad attempt either. As is typical of Sith skins, Jan\'s clothing has been turned black. Her face has been tweaked to look somewhat bruised and pale, giving it a very creepy and somewhat deathly look. It uses the Tavion soundset, which is somewhat fitting, and does indeed have its own icon. No team support, though bot support and NPC support are both included. Overall a somewhat unimaginative, but decently done skin. It actually looks like what it\'s supposed to, and that gains points in my book.

armor underneath his robes. The armor doesn’t look too bad, and the robes don’t look too bad either. I like the contrast in this skin. It’s not incredibly annoying, and it’s tasteful. But the basic synopsis of this is it’s more of a gray black Anakin for role playing. It does look nice, and it has all the variants, with robes, hood, whatever. This is a nice skin, and I can’t think of any ways to really improve it right now, so all I have to say is just make it more complex, and see what you get.

original skin, it’s [file=”69308”]here[/file]. Now, even more changes have been made to the skin. There are now a couple of variations to go with the skin, with color of clothing being the primary difference. The other skins that you can have with this skin differ in color mainly, but there are skinning differences, and although they are subtle, they are there.. The coat, for example, can have a plain texture or one of several different patterns on it, another thing is that there are zippers on the sides of the boots now.
There was one thing that struck me as odd with this skin: The shader on the hair. The tips of the head have the shader applied to them, but not most of the head…it’s just dull and one colored. That could be changed. Another thing that might be changed is how the shaders are. If you have shiny clothes how is that going to work? Sure, it looks cool, but does it look real? Oh, wait, this is Jedi Academy. It’s not supposed to look totally real. :p
All in all it looks pretty cool. The author even removed his name from the back of the skin. So anyways, looking for an interesting reskin of an already interesting model? If so, then download this.

with armor on and off. Overall, I would say they're quite alright. However, the armor on the male mando is a bit dark. It seemed to have no option of reflecting light XD which is precisely why I like it. =_,= Um, otherwise, I'm not sure what to say about it. These skins are no doubt meant for RP, so I can't judge them too much farther.

dazzles our eyes with another reskin of the mystical Shiva, which I don't know as much about given I don't study Hindu. However, It's obvious that he was going for an icy effect, and has achieved so with his (complete) work.
Yes, I said complete. I'll start with the skin. His creativity was well placed, especially on a model so unimaginative like a twilek. This was a twilek I could look at and say: "Hey, it's not one of Lucas' turd creatures." You've done well with the semi-transparent cloth and the eyes. The team skins are just as grand.
The weapons? Remember the fireballs? Know what I'm thinking? That's correct, harlot. ICE POWER is available now. =_,= Along with the ice manipulation, we're brought a katars, a sword, and a chakram. Each weapon being a wonderful display of thought and creativity. Tobe doesn't pump these out without putting plenty of tender loving care, I can tell.
Tobe, the only improvement that could have been made here was a new soundset. However, in my book, you put enough into this powerhouse of awesome. I should fuse you with my soul, human.

have seen your version 1, and now you have taken that, and DESTROYED A NUCLEAR REACTOR WITH YOUR WORK! Ifrit is a djinni of fire from Muslim and arabian folklore, but I don\'t think you humans care right now. Let\'s take a little look at what Tobe included in this drop-dead amazing skinpack.
- 2 reskins: the reborn new, and Jaden. I will say that they look almost nothing like their base models. They all have amazing team skins. One ever so TINY drawback that doesn\'t even phase me at this point: the inner hood doesn\'t match up with the braids on the other side of the reborn new\'s skin. A slight setback, but it\'s blown away by everything else.
- WEAPONS GALORE! Yes, there is a supreme and diverse array of weapons. From claws to swords to FIREBALLS! The fireballs have a decent variety of colors AND number of fireballs. Amazing, isn\'t it? There\'s only one problem with the fireballs and fire effects. I am not certain if this happens on EVERY machine, but I would advise against throwing the weapons. Auto crash (at least for me, but perhaps its a graphical error.)
- Singleplayer, NPC, and Bot Support as well. What more could you ask for there?
If you can\'t see the fire of insanity from my location on the globe, you will see it soon. This skin pack is totally complete (with bonus features) and receives the Ultimate Retruthan Virtually Unprecedented Malevolence Award.
Call me radical if you will, but I demand you offer your bandwidth up to this temple\'s idol.

have no real idea what it takes to reskin something, but judging from how scared I get when I try skinning I bet it\'s not so easy. So kudos on that part.
Here we have Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell. Once again, I have not played this game. But once again it looks to be a good job of actually reskinning a model. There are several versions, and I don\'t really know waht they\'re all called, but one of them is a prisoner, and I have a small issue with the prisoner version, and that is that the opening of the vest...thing...should be a bit more distinct. I think that if the author does that it\'ll look great. It looks good now, but I think it could look better.
For a reskin, this is good. I would recommend that you download it. Once again, this could be helped by having custom sounds.

\'\'dark\'\' or \'\'sithish\'\'. This generally makes the clothes of the skin solid black, with a darkened face. That is exactly what has been done with this skin. The clothes are solid black, although the face has had work put into it. And what most of that work consists of is very dark circles under obi-wans eyes, along with a scar over one eye and yellow eyes. He might as well be emo, for all the change that has been done. But let\'s just say he\'s [i]not[/i] emo, just to protect all the obi-wan fanboys.
The author has edited the SP version of obi-wan to be his Dark Obi-wan. So now you get dark obi-wan varying robes of solid black. So...I guess that\'s good. The author has included the sounds from hapslash\'s obi-wan, but they only work for the SP version. So, that\'s one thing to fix. My main suggestion, get away from black.

do like the unsleeved look, but the arms could definitely used a bit more work with the skinning. What I mean is that the arms seem to lack muscle definition. Other than that, this isn\'t all that bad. It comes in two versions, masked and unmasked.
Which brings me to the face. It appears to be a standard reborn face, with a blacked out eye and a black mask. The black eye...doesn\'t really seem realistic, if it\'s an injury. I don\'t know what it\'s supposed to be. The unmasked version has the blacked out eye, as well as a beard. A solid black beard. How many people have solid black beards? The beard could use some work. at least it could not be solid black. That just doesn\'t look right.
This can use some work on the arms and face, but I do generally like RPG skins rather than regular reskins. But as I said in another RPG skin review, nothing makes a RPG skin better than custom sounds.

ans spider added onto it. And what's more, it's supposed to be Venom. But the thing is, he has no resemblance to Venom.
First off, the model is the Hazardtrooper. Nothing big there, except the fact that it's a huge, bulky model. Venom from spiderman wasn't blocky. He was muscular, not block-like. Second, there's the extremely simple skinning job. The texture editing must've taken about five minutes. I fail to see how this looks like venom.
The author put in custom taunts, and that's it. I love a skin with new sounds, but not when it's only two sounds. It's annoying to have new taunts but to be left with default kyle sounds. Next time, more new sounds.
First off, you should've tried a different model. Secondly, you should've taken more than five minutes reskinning this.
Team skins are included, except that they're the same as the default skin, only with red and blue as the base colors.

photosourced. There just wasn't that much done with this. I think that the author should've just made his own uniform, or at least done something than photosource it. We all have to face it, photosourcing is generally nto our friend. It lacks originality.
The helmet of the skin...doesn't look like a helmet.It looks like a hat with spider webs on it. The author should have chosen a different model to reskin for this. But, as it's a saboteur, I guess he had to use the saboteur model.
Well, at least it has team skins, although the big difference in them is a small amount of color change, aslong with the SS symbols changing color. It does have bot support, and new sounds as well. I just wish that the author had taken more time on the skin itself.

The skin itself is very simple. Just a darkened face, yellow eyes (I don't see how that matters, because you can't really see them), and black clothes. Not nicely skinned black clothes. Solid black. No effort whatsoever. This definitely could have used a lot more time and effort.

something of a metallic look to it. In fact it even has a chrome shader, which makes it look rather neat in-game. Personally I think it\'s a little too heavy of a chrome, plus the specular shader on the cloth looks really weird, but it\'s definitely a neat look. In fact if that wasn\'t enough for you, you also get single-player species menu support. Not a bad deal, huh?
The sounds seem the same as from the original model, and unfortunately the team skins both look exactly the same as the default skin. Bot and NPC support have both been included, though, so that\'s a plus! An overused color combination, but an interesting skin to be sure.

I couldn't understand what they were, which I guess could be the point. Although they sound more "robotic" and "alien" to me. Most of the skin goes well together, but overall the look isn't great.

Well I know Raven\'s noghri are ugly, but they certainly don\'t look like bugmen.

of reskinning potential for the reborn model I'm somewhat disappointed that we're only given two variations to choose from here. You shouldn't need JA+ or another mod to provide other choices for you.
So we're given a tan-looking reborn, and (of course) a black-colored reborn. To me the two choices just don't seem that appealing. Do I pick the ugly tan and cyan reborn, or the boring completely black reborn? Okay, since you've got the color options I suppose it's not so bad, but since they don't really show up all that well on the dark one, and the tan one's just not appealing (to me anyway) I'm really not going for it. Variety! Variety is the key! The community has proved it time and time again, as well: recoloring reborns is not hard. So go the extra mile next time and give us some more to work with!

want to inform himself of that particular technique.
Despite what the author may suggest, this is mostly a recolor of the robes02 variation (and will overwrite that variation, unfortunately). There is some added shading here and there, and the collar portion has been outlined and filled over, with a big thick black line painted on and some minor shading around the edges, but otherwise it's a basic recolor. Whatever detail it has was retained from the base image. You can even see the "holes" from where the alpha channels were in the old image which the author just painted over.
Despite these things, the skin fits it purpose. It looks like the concept sketch, so the only reason it might not be downloadable is the overwrite problem.
~Inyri

bland, as it is all one single shade of red. Perhaps with some green hilights, which are found throughout the rest of the skin, it might have meshed better. I do like the boots, though. The green and gold look very snazzy together. Reminds me of an illuminated manuscript for some reason...
The other beef I have is that the skin is still very much Desann. I suppose being called "Dark Desann" it should still resemble Desann (though I don't know why it's called "dark" Desann - it's just red and green. Christmas Desann might be more fitting.). All in all though I just would have liked to see a little bit more, something a little more creative perhaps. I do thank my lucky stars, however, that the colors go very well together. Just next time do something with that breastplate. A little of that green and gold would make it look simply smashing.

say they arent too bad.
The first two are from AVP the movie and Predator 2, I never really got into either of those movies but they seem pretty accurate.
The others are ones that the author made himself but they just dont seem to be as good. The jungle hunter and jungle hunter II skins just look like a mix between the AVP and Predator 2 skins and the Predator Stalker skin looks ok but is so black on parts that it makes it hard to see much detail. The two skins not shown in the pictures are pretty much the same as the others. One kind of looks more medievil which I thought looked good and the other looks alot like the Predator 2 skin.
Overall they arent bad but I would like to see more diversity in skins from this author in the future(and team support, I mean really).

[url=http://jediknight2.filefront.com/file/Quinlan_Vos_Model;23326]here[/url]. It has a new face, modified robes, and to me it just looks brand new. I guess some credit should go to Aaron Smith for making such a versatile model.
The team skins are done very well. They're very subtle, small enough not to be overbearing but visible enough to serve their purpose. There is also a robed version of this skin, for those of you that like robes. My favorite part about this skin, right after the very neat looking outfit, is the scar on the face. It's probably the most realistic scar I've ever seen on a model.
Now on to the bonuses: a saber hilt and custom sounds. Let's start with the sounds. The author did them himself. I know what you're thinking, but unlike most 'custom made' sounds, these are pretty well done. They don't sound strained, and they don't sound like he was trying to hide in a corner and not be heard while he was doing them. They also fit the skin pretty well.
As for the saber, it's very well done as well. It's even got little spikes, for those of you who are into that kind of thing. It's simple, yet definitely has the same feel as the skin. No npc support or bot support, unfortunately. That would make this skin twice as great.
Overall, this reskin is excellently done. A real attention to detail mixed with an aesthetic look. I'd recommend this to anyone. It's definitely a skin you should have in your base folder.
[b]EDIT[/b]: Well, I've been summarily proven wrong. This skin [i]does[/i] have bot support, but my tired little eyes just skipped right over it. Apologies to Slaughter, and the review has been updated to reflect the newly found bot! All the sweeter... ;)

green and red go together very well, not even in a Christmas-in-July (or August?) kind of way.
The recoloring here is sloppy. The more you zoom in the easier it is to see where the author hastily selected around areas without paying attention to the lines of the texture. He colored over parts of the white sashes, and left red blotches all over the place. This could actually be one of the sloppiest recolors I\'ve seen, in terms of \'carefulness\'.
If this author wants to improve, he\'s really going to have to take some time with his skins rather than rushing through them to create a product. Also, a little bit of ingenuity wouldn\'t hurt. Recoloring one section of a skin isn\'t really new work.

his feet are the same blue shade as his robe. This is really just a simple recolor, and the author didn't go above and beyond in any way. He didn't even include an icon, so if you wanted to use this skin you'd have to use the /model blue_jawa command.

My initial reaction to the skin was cracking up. Still, a closer look at the skin makes you realize that from a technical standpoint, it IS skinned with a bit of talent. While it looks like the star on the back was just thrown in, I think it does blend quite nicely. The buttons on the front look a bit misaligned, but that could just be me.
The face is also painted a bit. It uh, well, imagine your sister or mother having some poor makeup aim. Boom. I myself don’t think regular gothics look like this, but something had to be done to change the face, and this wasn’t so bad either.
This skin lacks both bot support and team support. While it “lacks” new sounds, it does at least recycle the old Luke sounds. However, this is quite weird, because hearing a gothic talking about being “one with the force” isn’t quite fitting. Still, better than the defaults, I suppose.
From the technical standpoints, this skin isn’t so bad. From an eye to picture standpoint, it is ugly. However, some people prefer the less attractive skins, and maybe this could work in a JA movie somewhere, so it might be worth a second look.

they like to be in games, while also presenting them with a ton of options. However, the initial system without added skins like this turns out to be fairly boring.
Thankfully, some people do put in the extra effort to add to the skins and models. This is the obvious case right here. Buffy has provided us with. Utilizing some of Admin Amidala’s work (with permission of course) and a bit of talent of her own, Buffy has redone and recreated the looks of the species. For the sake of convencience, she has also separated the male and female PK3's, so you can install whichever you want.
Most of the changes are pretty simple. Some involve as much as a recolor of hair, although some contain hair model changes. The overall added customization is great, and the color menu has been updated for those who don’t like the annoying task of manually doing it via console. If you want pink for your girl, you can just pick it right away. The added color options here alone show that a lot of effort and thinking was put into this, along with the even more important amount of time.
Buffy has also mixed up sounds from both Academy and the Web, which give the players another new feel on everything. They sound great! In my opinion, the effort taken for this is apparent. While this might not be for all of you, it’s definitely something you should pick up if you want customization.

Vader, I was most interested to see what the skin consisted of. I was bemused by Frosty the Sith Lord.
IMO: While this is a novel idea, very few light colored skins work. The main reason for this is that shading is partially what causes the human eye to see depth. With no dark elements to the texturing, it appears flat and fake. From a fellow skinner\'s experience, it is extremely hard to pull of this design idea. I\'m not sure if my gamma was too high (at 1.00?) or if Yamato\'s was too low, but the skin appears much differently from the icons.
Technical Data:
Pros:
1) Lightside Vader
Cons:
1) Low-contrast skin appears textureless
2) Too bright (induced migraines...)

least it would give all of the Zabrak options to the human female. I really do prefer the Zabrak\'s skins to the humans, but I like some of the human heads. Well, this is a start anyway. The author did come close to the skin color - good enough anyway to fool the naked eye.
There are more options included in this file than what is shown. So download it and play around with what is available. I hope that the author does get around to updating this and doing more.

on but FF in JA seems to be extremely popular...in fact JA seems to have more mods leaving the SW universe than I've ever seen before!
This skin isn't one of those "wow" skins that we've seen recently however I'd be lying if I said I didn't find it somewhat appealing. The simple fact is it [i]does[/i] remind you of Seifer, while it may not be a spitting image of him, you can certainly tell it's supposed to be him. I don't like the face and hair though because the face is too white and ends very suddenly almost like a mask to the hair, if you're afraid of clowns, look away! The clothes however are nicely done and there is detail there, from the crosses on the arms to the necklace he wears.
For FF8 fans it's worth the download, just fix that face, k?

the great model AND the superb (read: wow) face on this guy. The texturing really could have done with a bit more sharpening in various places as it seems to blend slightly which is such a shame but besides that this model really is nicely done.
This looks like a totally new model to me (it is right guys?) because it is perfectly fitting for the texturing; if it is a new model then kudos on the work on it, the guys chest is even done properly to give it the right shape for a well built guy.
The prisoner model does have one problem however, he has lumps on his arms...they need to go! Besides that though the girls should be happy, the guy has no shirt on :) The "BattleWorn" one is kind of a blend of the normal one and him without a shirt on, as the name suggests it's like he's been in battle and they've tore his cloths (as they always do when the main guy is well built don't they?) MGS3 is a camo outfit which is another one I particularly like, this one has the detail they all should have, clear good texturing and nice job on the face paint too!
Good job on including new sounds for him too, they're clear and sound great, but "you kept me waiting, huh?" for what? :p lol I've not played the game so I have no idea; but it sounds cool anyway!

No team colors either!!!! This needs team colors to keep the originality it\'s supposed to have. Judging by the screenshot, there already isn\'t much to it - but still I would keep at the skinning aspect...just work a little harder next time.

it to JKA. Now they have!
In this small little skin pack, come the Classic Default Reborn, Fencer Reborn and Acrobat Reborn from JK2 that are now available as additional skins to the Reborn model that's already in JA.
Overall, this is a nifty little addition to your skin collection. There's nothing I can criticize about these skins because, hey, they're Raven skins, and everything Raven does is perfect isn't it? (Excluding anything to do with creating a balanced saber system, but this is neither the time nor place for that. :p)
Anyway, I think we should all scold Raven for leaving these skins out of JKA, thank Adan0s for converting to skin and now download it!

not read this review… I said DON’T… You did… bad boy (or girl). Mech Reborn is a pretty average skin. The author has painted random mechanical textures onto the Reborn body, and added in a somewhat cool face. This skin isn’t horrible, but it is obviously from a new skinner. The textures don’t seem to fit well, and seem to just be pasted on. Still at least it comes with bot support, and team colors (even if they are the same except with the hue/color changed.) Now I don’t think this will be a hit among the community Mr. Author dude, but if it’s a review your looking for then here it is simply: This is not a great skin and it doesn’t have much to it, but it IS complete which I count as a major plus, and it shows you have some potential in skinning if you work at it. Anyways nice try and good luck on your next skin. 6/10

pointless to me. All it is a brown hair recolor of the blond, and not only that, but it overwrites the normal beardless brown haired model. I guess this accomplishes what the author wanted, and if you’re looking for a brown bearded head model for the custom human male, this is it. Personally though, I don’t really like this all that much.
~DeathBringer }>

This stand-alone skin by maddog is a rather nice departure from normal skins. Just in time for Halloween no less! The face has been replaced by a very ominous skull wrapped in headgear with various chains/chainmail hanging around the clothes.
This is a very well-detailed job. I especially like the face on this guy. You can\'t tell from the screenshots, but if you get real close it looks unmistakably like a skull. The CTF colors are palette swaps, but are pretty well-done regardless. Add some bot support into the mix and you have a recipe for a long-lasting skin. Great job maddog!

shirt, but it is difficult to tell with the blue vest on it.
No major problems with the skin itself. The texture work is ok. Although, in my opinion, nothing really makes this skin stand out above the crowd to me.
I like the beard, so that\'s something at least. It is a seperate skin though, and is only designed to work in MP, so it will not be replacing the original default skin, unless you rig it up to do so on your own installs of the game.

with the grey hair and goatee) which I was particularly fond of, indeed, I still use it!
If yo have the skills to do skinning though it is great to make your own personal skin, and this is exactly what this author has done! Raven Zhef is a reskin of Nemoarz1\'s excellent Commander Cody model. I really like the look of the battle scared armour and the armour patterning, especially the little flourishes on the helmet, like the teeth! I also liked the symbol on the shoulder guard, a nice personalised touch.This mod does have team skins, although they are not the usual red and blue coloured versions, but rather while the default skin is fully suited up with helmet and backpack, the red team skin has no helmet and no backpack with a darker complexion and scar on the face, whereas the blue team skin also has no helmet or backpack, but has a lighter skin complexion and no scar.
You can also use the model customization screen to mix and match heads and torsos to your preference, although there arenâ€™t that many options to choose from. Perhaps for next time you could add more customization options, like different coloured armour or more heads with different scars/haircuts? One other thing, there is a .npc file in the .pk3 here, but no bot in the bot list, so I presume that is a bug, as a .npc file is no use without a bot to use it!
All in all though good work here, with custom sounds as well! Though I would like to see some more options for the character customization screen!

of what exactly I am not quite sure, and neither is the author as he says in his readme. That said he doesnâ€™t really fit the theme of a bearded crime fighting crusader. He does however look sort of like a naval captain of some sort, with his blue uniform. The skin comes in several variations, though only two are available from the default JKA skin selection menu; if you do not have the JA+ plugin you will have to use the console commands listed in the readme to use the other skins, which is a little frustrating. The skins are simple and clean, though I think they could do with a little more detail here and there. Perhaps some more wrinkles in the clothing or gold edging on his uniform or some rank epaulettes?
Team skins are also included, which rounds of a nice little package. As I said I would like to see some more detailing on the uniforms, but other than that, good work! :)

Sumerian god of war. I rather like history and ancient mythology (yay for Age of Mythology! ;)) and am familiar with various gods and goddesses from various cultures, but this is one I had not heard of before.
Anyway, if I was a god of war who wanted to appear in physical form, a Noghri would probably be a good choice, freakin' scary as they are already. Not scary enough apparently though, as hollywood_g1 has added a few flourishes of his own, including some facial tattoos and the obligatory evil glowy yellow eyes. The team skins are nice and simple, having different facial colours, the red team skin having... red skin, which along with the yellow eyes makes this guy one you would not like to meet on a dark night!
Unfortunately though, they very Jedi sounding 'take that!' taunt doesnt really fit with the character at all, so definitely something to look at improving for next time around!
Overall a really great Noghri reskin, one of the best looking I think I have ever seen. I look forward to what else you have up your sleeve hollywood_g1 :D

Anyway, here we have an update to a very old skin that was [url=http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/Dark_Kyle_20;32574]originally made by Ragnos[/url] back in 2004. basically Grifterjl has given this a bit of an update by adding a new taunt, which happens to be from the bad guy in the movie \'Highlander\' who has a penchant for cutting peoples heads off. The film also features Sean Connery as a 3000 year old \'immortal\' originally born in Egypt mentoring some burly Scottish bloke who flings a big sword around, lives a few hundred years, ends up in New York and battles a large scary bad guy who is in dire need of some throat medicine...
Anyway, this is a nice little update to an old skin and it brings it back into the limelight, though I would have liked to have seen some new sounds for the death, pain and other sounds too! Something to try for next time perhaps! :)

usual.[/b]
I have never played either of the Portal games, but to be quite honest after listening to the taunts that these skins have, I just have to play them! But I will come to that later...
I have seen some costumes based on Portal that people have made even though I havenâ€™t played the game, and I would class these skins as portal themed, rather than recreations of the characters costumes from the game. They are orange, though not quite bright enough orange I think, that said orange is my favourite colour, so I like it! Yes, you now know that I have two vices, the colour orange and glowy things, I WANT TO SEE MORE OF THEM PEOPLE! :P
On the back of the skins is also the aperture sciences logo, which rounds the skin off. Personally I think it would be best either to find a skin with plainer clothing or to make the clothing on these skins more plain and flat, as the detailing and piping etc. on the clothes doesnâ€™t really look like what you would expect from a simple orange jumpsuit. That said, I guess you could say that they are what an orange jumpsuit might look like if Portal took place in the Star Wars universe! It would be nice of course to have a custom model, but that is not always possible, and I think given the restrictions that the models and skins used have, the author did a good job of making some Portal themed skins!
Now, onto that taunt... it isnâ€™t to much that the character uses a taunt, more that they suddenly burst out into song! I am presuming that the song must be from Portal somewhere, I presume the voice of GLaDOS? Though I could be wrong as of course I havenâ€™t played the games! Either way, the lyrics are quite hilarious, exactly what you might expect a machine to come up with, and what is more there is a different version for the male and female version of the skins. Yet more hilarious is watching the players mouth flap open and closed constantly while they 'sing' the rather lengthy taunt/song. Pavarotti eat your heart out!
All in all a cool skin here with a nice dash of humour straight from the Portal games, they may not be 'accurate' representations of the orange jumpsuits from the game, but I like them all the same. Keep up the good work Blade!

If so, today is your lucky day, because that's exactly what this file adds to Jaden:
[quote]Various facial hair combinations for Brown haired Jaden. Includes: Full Beard, Moustache, Goatee, Mutton Chops, Abe Lincoln's Chin Strap Beard, and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine facial hair.[/quote]
It doesn't overwrite anything, and it works like a charm. My only possible gripe with this file is the way it only adds facial hair for a single human male Jaden head. I'd love to see it working for all of the human male ones.
...A thought occurs: Rodians with beards.
Bottom-line: does exactly what it says on the tin. Download your own facial hair today and increase your pun factor by atleast 100 percent.

100% of you), I mean we have here a second version of [file=\"96743\"]Kyrios, Jedi Knight[/file]. To quote the author:
[quote]Basically as the name says, it\'s practically a black and white tunic/design update/addition of Kyrios, with a load of other fixes and additions to the previous version which has been more refined as a result. New arms, styles, heads, hair and more importantly, sounds.[/quote]

The quality of the sounds is actually surprisingly good. According to Averus (he\'s the one with expertise on Gundams, windmills, and combinations thereof), the taunts are from Heero Yuy from Gundam Wing.

Only thing not in that color spectrum is the red eyes, and I wouldn\'t consider that an original aspect in a skin _> In fact, I\'d go so far as to say the only thing holding this skin up is the backstory.

see even for a simple reskin, since I always say that team skins are always an important part of a well rounded skin mod. However the red team skin is the same as the default skin, a greyscale version of the New Reborn skin, which again is somewhat disappointing as it would have been nice for the red team skin to have been unique like the blue team skin.
There isnâ€™t really much more I can say about this mod unfortunately, as like I said it is basically a greyscale reskin of the New Reborn skin, though again, its good to see that the author still included team skins! For next time I would definitely suggest working on the skin more, making it more unique even if it is still a grey New Reborn, since just making a greyscale version of the default skin is not exploiting the skin to its full creative potential!
Overall, somewhat disappointing, but its a start! Keep up the skinning mate and you will continie to improve, I look forward to seeing your next submission!

and buy a game just because its popular (Minecraft excluded, ehehehe...) since I have pretty specific tastes in games. But there we go, l I missed out on the Tomb Raider series for years until I bought one of the games and realised it was actually brilliant, so Iâ€™m crazy like that. :P
Here we have a Bio Trooper from the games, though I wasnâ€™t able to find any reference images on the net to compare this skin to so I will just have to judge it on its own merits rather than its accuracy. The skin itself is a pretty good reskin of the Bespin Cop skin, though I do think the clothing needs some more texture; wrinkles, creases etc. since it looks quite flat (at least the arms and legs anyway). I also think the team skins could do with a little more definiton of their team colours. Though I like how the belt is recoloured subtly, it is perhaps a bit [i]too[/i] subtle and it is quite difficult to tell the team skins apart. I think making the colour a little brighter or perhaps adding the team colours to other parts of the skin (just as subtly of course) would help here, but thats just my opinion. Lastly I think some custom sounds would be nice, perhaps some sound bites from the game or something similar.
All in all though this is a good skin and its nice to see the old Bespin Cop skin/model getting a bit of attention! Keep up the good work Clonehunter and keep the files coming! :)

customer support will let me.
Right, so, today brings us a new skin - this time, it's a Sith, complete with red eyes.
[quote]Is a Sith that I invented. He has red eyes and a grey armor.[/quote]
This is, essentially, a recolor of the new Reborn. Amusing fact of the day: I just typed "a recolor of a newborn" for some reason. All your newborns are belong to us.
So, here's what we get:
-Black trousers
-White and red boots
-A white-ish gray-ish torso.
-A black face where ordinarily would be Newborn new Reborn skin.
-Red eyes.
-NPC support
And, for the record, this doesn't overwrite the old New Reborn (see what I did there?), it's a complete new skin. Now, the skinning quality itself isn't bad at all, I dare say I've seen far worse. The only real problem I see here is it being a recolor of the new reborn, but hey, that's just me.
I did notice one bug - the flap behind the face mask bandanna banana thing. When I tested it, it disappeared whenever you looked at it from the front (whilst still being visible from the back). I think this is a shader issue (or lack thereof, judging by the contents of the pk3), but I honestly wouldn't be able to say for sure.
Still, you know what to do if you want to run around as newborn or new Reborn.

much - the title helped me get over my initial stroke of Rebornophobia.
[quote]This is my first skin ever (...) it has a little colour issues at the pants (...) It has NPC support (...) It includes Bot support (...) I haven't added sounds, so it has regular Reborn sounds, but I will add them on a future version.[/quote]
So, a Reborn with NPC support, and it doesn't overwrite the old Reborn.
It also comes with a variety of NPCs, and as said, has a fancy file title. So far, so good, right?
Unfortunately, that's where the good part ends. I'm afraid I have to say most of these skin themselves made me think it was once a nefarious Reborn, but had been under attack by a five years old using a variety of crayons as weapon.
The exception to this is the gold model (screenshot #3), which seems to have a little more effort put into it, but still has a bit of an MS Paint look.
While honestly, there's far, far worse out there than this skin, I can't say it looks all that good, as closer inspection of the screenshots might also explain.
Still, it's the author's first skin, so it could definitely be worse. In future, try to use less large surfaces of a single colour though, helps against the MS Paint look.
Also, you might not want to include the ./Models/Players/_humanoid folder in future unless really necessary, as it causes issues with certain mods (for instance when uploaded to a Japlus server). ;)
In short - this file is exactly what it advertises: another Reborn skin.

scar, it just was telegraphed way too soon. This is apparently a character from a series known as Fairy Tail. Never heard of it, don't plan on it, but I did at least look up the character on google images to see if I could get a reference pic. Sure enough, I did find a picture that matched the features on this skin, and given the circumstances, Jan was not a bad choice to reskin.
Now the first thing I noticed on this character was just how grouchy she looks. Even when she was smiling in this pictures her heavyset brow just looked more fit for a scowl. This skin has definitely captured the essence of that scowl. I could see that grouchy piercing stare on her face all too easily, which I reckon is a good thing for likeness.
The torso looks to have used a very familiar skin texture as a base. The top(I'm sure some brainiac will give the proper term in the comments,) looks rather primitive, and looks like it was just pasted over the existing texture, but scarily enough...it works. However, lot of work that needs to be done on the torso. This Erza lady looks like she got into a fight with a cat in that picture I saw, so she needed plenty more scratches and scars on her upper body, like crazy. I also noticed she has some kind of tattoo on her outer bicep, so definitely don't forget that.
Below all that, it pretty much gets the job done. It's still rather freaky that she lacks a naval entirely, but I'm rather certain his source material didn't have one either, so I guess it's not your fault entirely, Ganseki. Even though the hair is hardly the right length for this character,(Another typical feature: abnormally long hair,) you definitely have something going for this skin, so even if you can't get a model, you certainly can make this skin work well enough to get the job done.
Overall a very nice start. I'm intrigued to see what your V2 holds for us..

benign about this skin, but all I can see is a big filtered mess on every texture, topped off with a glowy shader, so there's very little I *CAN* say. There looks to be some vague looking metallic plate texture on his chest, but I can barely make out any detail. The arms and legs are so blurred I can't really tell what he was going for. The rest...well, methinks I've done enough damage already.
I guess what I'm getting at is that filter frenzy skins are not always the best route to go. Your shader is okay, but it doesn't really enhance the skin much at all...it just sorta says "hay, i'm teh here," and lets the skin present its filteryness. And yet, I bet you'll still use it and think nothing of it, and if you're cool with that, then don't let me stop ya.

Oh well. So, this is the *START* of a addon pack for the Jedi Human Male pack, and it's literally just one skin. All the icons are from Modview screenshots, and the general appearance of the skin is this:
Head: Black hair, Jaden face
Torso: Black n' brown robess
Pants: Blackened brown pants.
Overall, a very dark skin and pretty basic, but it does not displease. It reminds me of another skin whose name I can't remember, but that's definitely not a bad thing. Oh well, nuffa this ramblin' File, get moar of it.

'Cracked Desann' but perhaps it has something to do with the crackle effect on his trousers, which make him look like he has been wading through mud. His armour has been heavily posterized and while the arms look ok, the chest armour looks a little flat and odd. I think if you added a shiny shader to the chest armour it might help tone down the posterization and maybe even compliment it, giving it a heavy steel look.
Unfortunately there are no team skins which is a bit disappointing, I always consider team skins to be an essential part of a well finished skin. Overall though a decent job here, I definitely think the chest armour needs some more work though.
I look forward to seeing your next mod mate! :)

several similarities to the Bloodrayne skin and this. What I see is a few pastings from BloodRayne to this, with more clothes, desaturation, and different hair. Also a cape.
I would like to mention that making a skin with pale textures and black clothing doesn't always make a Sith. I mean, sure, they might all like to have Anakin Syndrome, but there were some colorful Sith out there too.
Anyways, rant complete. While it seems to be mediocre in some areas of the creating, the skin came out quite well. That might be all that matters to some people, so I shall depart with that said.

to here. Illidan Kazama, you've quite the barrel of moxey.
This skin was originally created by Hellknight1993, an unfinished product from the movie 300 that Illidan decided must reach public eyes. His solution? He touched some things up and added team support. Did it work? Eh, sorta. From the back, it just looks like a black JK3 Reborn without the hatflap. All the detail's in the front, and even then there's not too much to talk about other than the face and the chest. In that regard, yes, they definitely have the detail of one of those guys from what few pictures I've looked at, but otherwise it still could use a lot more detail. The team skins are a pretty lax effort, consisting just of a large red or blue tint over the entire default skin.
All in all, I think this could have waited until s'more detail was added. What you have now is merely "okay" and doesn't really seem to envelop the target character, much as it is a reborn dress-up. Keep working on it, and maybe then, will you truly have this so-called "immortal" =_=

pilfering yobbo's. Thankfully I don't think anyone quite that old visits here, so the chances are nobody is going to think this guy will job out of their computer screen and attempt to mug them. Well not unless you are either drunk or have been taking some substance you shouldn’t have... :P
Here we have a pretty good reskin of the Reborn model, with each of the versions; default, red and blue team skins, having a unique look. The default version is pretty plain, with a white top and what I presume to be tracksuit pants or jeans. The only complaint I have here is that the pants look a little too much like tights, I think some extra texture and some wrinkles to the pants around the knees feet and hips would add a bit more depth to them, since they look too flat at the moment. Each skin has a different top on, and also different shoes. Im guessing the default skin is wearing some K-Swiss, whereas the blue team skin is definitely wearing Chuck's, no doubt there. ;)
Overall the skins are good quality, although as I said I think the trousers on all the skins need a bit more wrinkle detail as the lack of wrinkles where your various leg joints move (hips, knees and feet)make these look a bit too much like tights! Apart from that though, good work! A well made real life themed casual skin here which I am sure many people will like.

where to begin. First off, don't look up reference images for this skin. Instead, use the third screenshot. Why? Well, there's pr0ns on the internets, that's why. Many of them.
Okay...so the sounds are really out of the ordinary. In fact, I daresay they are borderline funny. The taunt, of course, is the infamous "no". The others...Eh, I'm not going there right now.
The skin itself is about as close as you can get to ralph pootawn without a new model. But that doesn't change the fact that it is [b]horribly, grossly inaccurate[/b]. Eh, I guess that's where part of the humor element comes from.
So there you have it. You can now annoy people as Ralph Pootawn.

originally going to be a single skin, but due to high demand, RGB support was added.
The pack includes the original version of the skin which has a reddish variant for the skin tone. The rest of the skins in the pack can be found in the customization menu. There is multiple choices for each of the different versions of the skin, which gets rid of that boring factor we all dislike. All of you can mix and match to your own personal liking! :)
As far as other features go, I didn't really see anything new. I was hoping the skins came along with new sound files but there wasn't any. Hopefully they'll come along in a V2 of this pack? We can only hope.
Overall, this isn't a bad customization pack. The author did a pretty decent job with it and I hope to see more work from him in the near future. As I mentioned above, some new sound files would be a nice addition. Other than that, great job author! This is definitely worth a download if you're looking for customization and variety!

Nozy and he made me clean the castle... >_>
To start off, here we have a skinpack of Imperial Zombies. Wait, what? The Empire is transforming their armies into zombies now? What in the-- It just gets worse everyday! Anyways, the pack consists of four ''infected'' Imperial characters: Zombie Reborn, Zombie Stormtrooper, Zombie Stormtrooper Officer and a Zombie Imperial Officer. Each skin is unique and has new sounds!
First on the list we have the Zombie Reborn. You'll notice that he is covered in blood in most places and looks fairly scary. The blood effect adds an even [i]darker[/i] mood to the Reborn. The author also gave the reborn a re-color and made the face hardly visible to add to the ''zombie'' theme. If you look close-up, you can see the Reborn's eyes.
Next we have the Zombie Stormtrooper and the Stormtrooper Officer. The author decided not to re-color the stormtroopers, but it was a good idea if you ask me. It makes the blood effect much more visible on top of a lighter color. Besides that, there isn't much else to say about these two.
Lastly we have the Imperial Officer. Just like the stormtroopers, the author didn't re-color the imperial. The only noticeable additions is the obvious blood effect and the freaky white eyes. They remind of something from a horror movie or the Witch from Left 4 Dead.
Ah well, I've saved the best feature for last! The author added new sounds for each of the skins. As mentioned in the readme, the sounds were used from Half-Life 2. Each sound below corresponds with each skin:
[b]Stormtrooper and Stormtrooper Officer:[/b] Uses the Combine Zombie sound files.
[b]Reborn and Imperial Officer:[/b] Uses the Classic Zombie/Fast Zombie/Poison Zombie sound files.
Overall, this isn't a bad first skinpack. Although, I'd recommend that if you plan on having a V2, you should improve the blood textures a bit and make each of the skins seem, well, more realistic if possible. Other than that, you did a pretty good job! This is definitely worth a download if you're into the whole ''zombies'' fab or just need something new to play as.

and unfortunately died in hospital. You can read the full description of this unfortunate tale in the readme, which in turn was taken from the Wikipedia article on the film.
Here we have a skin of Brandon Lee's character, the eponymous Crow AKA. Eric Draven. The Yaleck Vos model has here been reskinned and the new skin certainly fits very well. The hair and clothes all fit nicely and with that face paint this makes one hell of a creepy skin.
Why real people like dressing up in such impractical clothes and smothering their skin in makeup is beyond me, but each to his own!
One thing I would say about the clothes on this skin are that the bottom half is very dark and you cant really see much detail. Lightening the texture up a bit, or maybe adding a few highlights would help here. Other than that I would definitely suggest adding team skins for next time around, and if possible some new sounds to add that bit extra flavour to the skin.
Overall though a good skin here, if you like the look of this or are a fan of the movie, The Crow, then be sure to give this a download! :)

model is from HapSlash and most of the textures are from Spanki, the author has created a face which bears his own likeness. I must say, the face here looks very impressive and definitely looks as though it could belong to a real person, rather than just being a vague likeness, as is the case with some personal skins.
I would also say that this guy looks kinda like a Jedi Biker, because of the black leather looking clothes and that beard and hairstyle. ;) There are custom sounds included as well, which I take to be the author himself. Like I have said before, this always adds a nice personal touch to a [i]personal[/i] skin!
There are also team skins included, although I was a little disappointed by these. Only the pouches on the belt were re-coloured, which makes it a bit difficult to tell the team skins apart unless you look more closely. Perhaps colouring the armour under the robes to be either blue or red would be a good idea here, since it would be more obvious, but still subtle enough to not be in your face. That's just my suggestion anyway!
As for improvements though, I should point out that for some reason this skin is right at the bottom of the skin selection menu, rather than at the top where most custom skins appear. Now I'm not a skinner and so I don’t really know why this is, but it was a little confusing, because at first I thought the skin wasn't working, until I scrolled all the way down and found it right at the very bottom!
Overall, good work here, although I would like to see a bit more original work on the clothing as well instead of just the face. Keep up the skinning mate, I look forward to seeing more from you! :)

literally. It looks like this guy has had a run-in with King Midas or something!
The skin also has a nice shiny shader, which rolls across the skin giving the effect of a constant shimmer. The base textures of the skin have also had their contrast upped it seems, so the patterns on the clothing are a lot stronger looking. Combined with the colour and the shader this gives a fantastic solid gold effect! Since it has a moving shader, the screenshots below really don't do this skin full justice.
There are no team skins though unfortunately though, but I have a suggestion, which may be of interest there. As some of you may know, you can actually get many different colours of gold by combing it with different metals. This by adding more copper you can get red or rose gold, adding palladium to the gold makes white gold and so on. You can even get such exotic colours as green and blue gold among others. For more inspiration and a bit of information take a look at [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colored_gold]this Wikipedia Article[/url].
Personally I think it would be great if you could make blue and rose gold coloured skins to use as the team skins. This would make this mod even more unique and eye-catching! That's just my suggestion anyway. :)
All in all a very unique looking skin here. I look forward to seeing more from you mate!

can be pieced together from the customization menu. The base skin is a normal Boba Fett, but with a goldish/red glare underneath the mask. There has been a screen added to the right arm with the same glare. Instead of being a turquoise color, the skin sports an overall sand color with red areas.
The team skins are a little different. The red team's skin has blood stains on it. The blue one is one giant...blue...neon...animated...glowy-thing. It's hard to describe, you'd have to see it. But it looks very cool.
Now, as far as downsides go...I'm not particularly fond of the color combination on the default and red team skins. They just don't compliment each other very well. The helmet on the default and red team skins doesn't quite match up in the center on the front or the back, so there's a visible seam running through the middle of the head. Also, the red team skin's blood stains don't look highly realistic...I'm sure there's a way to fix that, maybe with a little recoloring and reshaping.
Overall, they don't look bad, but certainly could use some improving. Be sure to check out the last screenshot for a look at that blue team skin, it's awesome!

simple reskin. The team skins are a bit more interesting however; the red team skin has much more colourful clothing, multicoloured in fact. The blue team skin was my favourite though, as it had been reskinned with Shadowtrooper armour. Along with a grey hood this was a pretty cool combination. The armour textures on the back of the skin were quite a bit out of alignment however, which was a disappointment.
Although this is a good try, I think these skins need more work, particularly in getting the textures aligned on the blue team skin and also making the default skin more unique. Some custom sounds would also be cool!

8 torsos, and 8 legs. First head is your standard Rosh. There's a Chiss head, and anti-Chiss head, ans three heads of various skin tones. The first three torsos are just the default and team skins, but the rest have various color schemes. You get the same deal with the legs.
All in all, it looks pretty well done, although some of the clothes are so dark that some detail is lost. That isn't a big deal, though. The main problem that I suspect people will have is the fact that it's Rosh.

between this and your average Reborn reskin however, and that is that the tunic has been [i]re-textured[/i] and not just re-coloured. That means that the patterns on the tunic are gone, in favour of just a plain cloth texture. Personally I actually really like this, in fact, the red team skin is actually what I think the original JK2 Reborn's probably should have looked like. That particular skin just seems to me more like a Dark Side follower rather than the default Reborn’s with their fancy patterns and bright colours. The blue team skin is, of course, blue and the default skin is a rather regal looking purple.
This skin has bot support as well as some custom sounds which is cool. Overall then a complete package here. The skin itself may be fairly simple, but I think that, along with the nice choice of colours, is one of its strengths.
Personally I would love to see a mod which replaces the default Reborn's in JK2 with the red and grey red team versions of this skin, I think they would look much better personally, but that's just me!

the author, this is his description:
[quote]DESCRIPTION:
The Chiss fear nobody. They don't fear the Lords of the Sith,
they don't fear the Republic (old or new) and they definitely don't give a donkey's arse about the Clone Wars.
WELL, HERE'S SOMEONE THEY WILL FEAR!
I give you... the Antichiss...[/quote]
That description actually made me laugh for quite a bit. The author seems to be really into his work. If the Anti-Chiss ever showed up in front of me, I think I would run away. Well, not really. I'd probably pull out my personalized lightsaber and start up a saber battle with him. It would last 40 days and 40 nights, just like Noah's Ark did. >_>
Anyways, here is a mini-description of the changes that Anti-Chiss has been given:
[b]Anti-Chiss:[/b] The author decided to give this fearless reborn a yellowish look with a black hood. Although, the decoration line down the back of the wardrobe was re-colored black as well. Also, the lower torso and forearm regions have a dark and fading look to them. The skin color was changed to a reddish-brick color. So basically, this reborn is a Red-skinned Chiss. Hmm, not very common to see a Red Chiss walking around these days, eh?
The author also decided to add team skins, which gave this Anti-Chiss some flavor and a little variety. Although, I'd like to see some more variety if possible. It seems that these days, everybody enjoys customization packs more than anything. At least, that's what I have noticed. Oh well, this is still pretty well done.
I found no bugs or glitches, which is always a good thing! If anybody finds any, please tell me what kind of super magnifying glass you're using because I [i]want[/i] one. :D
Overall, this isn't a bad skin. You can never modify the reborn skin to many times, because it's not one that has been overly used in the past years. I'm looking forward for some more work on this! Keep up the good work. This is definitely worth a download if you want a change with your reborn skins.

the reborn skins made by Raven. Although, there is a twist.. *drum roll* It's now a Chiss Reborn! It's quite the odd idea, but it's something that isn't seen around to often. I'm not sure if there has been a Chiss Reborn before, but nonetheless, these three are pretty well done.
Let's review the changes shall we?
[b]Chiss Reborn:[/b] the author gave him a greenish-gray look with a orangeish-yellow hood and decoration down the back of the torso. It kind of looks like a default reborn who just jumped out of a pool, or maybe that's just me. The skin color was changed to the normal Chiss tone.
When I went to go look for bugs, I didn't really find any. Although, the hood seemed a little glitched. That's just what I saw, but maybe I'm just imagining things. Other than that minor glitch, I saw nothing else major.
To quote the author, this are ''the first alien reborn.'' I would have to give him credit, once again, for being creative and unique. I wonder how well these Chiss Reborn would perform under the command of a Sith Lord. Hmm.. o_O
Overall, these aren't bad re-colors. I might use these every once in awhile, I guess we'll have to see. If the author decides to make a V2, I would recommend making a whole lot of different variations of the skin, maybe even a Chiss Reborn army. Look out Jedi, you've got some new competition. Anyways, this is definitely worth a download if you want a change with the Reborn.

skins in a short amount of time. Sometimes that is good, other times it is bad. In this case, it's really hard to tell. Anyways, the author decided to re-skin the default Jedi, Jedi Master, and the ''J2" Jedi skins originally made by Raven. I thought about it and I realized that the "J2" Jedi is [i]rarely[/i] used for re-skinning or modeling. Am I the only one around here that has noticed that? Hmm.. it makes you think. I'd like to give the author credit for this rare sight in our midst. :D
To start off, one of the most notable changes for each of the skins was a re-coloring. Let's review the changes for each of the three skins:
[b]Jedi:[/b] No longer has all blue clothes on. The author made the "shirt'' a tannish-brown color, which brings out the 'brownish wraps on each of the Jedi's arms. Also, the Jedi now has more grayish-black pants instead of the boring default color. This definitely adds some uniqueness to the boring, old Jedi we've been playing since Jedi Academy was released.
[b]Jedi Master:[/b] His entire wardrobe has been re-colored to purple and his hair has been changed to a whiteish-gray look. To be honest, I really like the way the Jedi Master has been modified. His new look is snazzy and definitely out of the ordinary. Although, he kind of looks like a hustler or a pimp now.. >_>
[b]Jedi J2:[/b] You'll immediately notice that the Jedi J2 is no longer human, but... Chiss. I'm not really sure what the purpose of this was, but surprisingly it appealed to me in an odd way. It's kind of funny to see the Jedi J2 as a Chiss. Although, the author is quite unique with his re-skins, so I believe he did a good job on the J2. Anyways, the other changes consist of a color change to the shirt, the sleeves, and the pants. Each of them has been recolored. I'd also like to point out that the sleeves are purple. Does the author have a pimp theme going on here or what? o_O
As far as bugs go, I didn't see any of importance. It's not very common to see any major bugs with re-skins.
And now we reach the topic of improvements. *Dramatic music plays*.. Anyways, moving on! The only improvements that I recommend are most minor. My biggest gripe is probably the re-colored hair on the Jedi Master. I don't know if this is just me, but I feel like it could of been done better. Maybe you could add some more effect to it or mix colors a bit. I'm just throwing out ideas. Another minor improvement I'd like to possibly see is sound files. I was expecting some new sounds for each of the re-skinned Jedi's, but I didn't find any. Maybe if you make a V2, you could add some new sounds. That would definitely add some more fun.
Overall, these ''New Jedi'' are pretty good. As for the author, I'd take a few seconds to look over my recommendations and see if you can improve anything, it would definitely add some more flavor to your re-skins. Keep up the good work! This is definitely worth a download if you want a change for the three Jedi skins.

to be an ''old fool'' too. The name of the skin fits Kyle's future persona if you ask me. After having a padawan like Rosh, I'd turn into an old and miserable fool too. :D
My first impression of this senior citizen was that he seriously needed some [i]Just For Men[/i] to get rid of that gray hair. For all of you who are familiar with Kyle Katarn, we all know he's a ladies' man. He needs to be able to swoon the ladies, but his gray hair is throwing off his game. None of the plays in his book are going to work with that hair color. Nevertheless, there is some woman out there that like a little gray hair. >_>
*Enough with the off-topic side-talk!*
To be completely serious, one of the first things I noticed about this skin was that from the shoulders down, it was just to basic for me. The author states that he was going for a ''pajama-like technician suit,'' but I just don't see it. Maybe I'm just not thinking ''outside the box?" I don't know. I don't know about everybody else, but It just seems like the author could of been more creative with his design. I'm not trying to say that the author did a bad job, but it looks like he spent little time with this skin. Although, to be more positive, the face and hair were done pretty well. I did enjoy seeing the gray hair effect. After seeing this version of Kyle, I realized that he's never going to look like his father.. in any way, shape, or form. Does anybody else see that happening at [i]all[/i]?
One of my favorite parts about this skin was the custom-made sounds. It's not common to see custom-made (home-made is probably a better term to use) sounds for skins and/or models around JKFiles. I'll give the author credit for taking the time to record the sounds for Kyle. Although, my only gripe is the fact that there is only one sound file for the taunt. I was hoping the author had made more. Oh well, you can't get everything you want! :)
As far as bugs go, I didn't catch any. I wasn't expecting any, seeing that this is just a re-skinning of the default Kyle.
At last, we come to the improvements. My most important concerns relate to the ''basic'' look of Kyle from the shoulders down. If you could spend some more time on his torso, or maybe just add a few features to it, it would make it look [i]much better[/i]. Also, even though the hair looks pretty good, I'd try to touch it up some more and make it blend in with the hair as a whole.
Overall, I believe the author did a pretty decent job on this ''old fool.'' That still makes me laugh! Kudos to the author for giving Kyle that title. Just remember to review my recommendations for improvements if you plan on making a version two of this skin. Keep up the good work! This is definitely worth a download if you want to replace Kyle with something new, since he never changes his clothes.. he's such a bum, gosh.

Reborn's... a Jedi Reborn even, they would probably have looked something like this.
This skin uses the texture from the Jedi Master torso and the pants texture from the Rodian along with the original Reborn hood, all re-coloured to a brownish colour (so they all match of course) and then put together to produce this unique looking Reborn skin. Personally I really like this skin, it does actually look like a Jedi Reborn, the brown colouring obviously being more Jedi like than the red and blue and other multi-coloured default Reborn skins. Adding the Rodian pants with the Jedi Master torso textures was an inspired choice and really makes this skin look distinctive and stand out of the huge crowd of Reborn skins out there. The sounds and taunt, which I'm guessing are from the Mercenary model also fit well with the theme of the skin.
As I have seen with quite a few skins recently though, there are no team skins, which is disappointing. I definitely think team skins should be added for next time around along with bot support if possible.
Apart from that though this is an impressive skinning job and I look forward to more work from you!
If you guys are looking for a Reborn re-skin that stands out from the crowd, or you are a Jedi character who has always liked the Reborn look but preferred to use a Jedi skin, then this is for you! ;)

stealthy. Neon glow = gives away your position faster than you can say "Holy Sam Fisher's neon glowing headset!". Concept is interesting but that's a fundamental reason why there are no ninja in Star Wars, ya think?
I don't know what to say without going over old ground. The glow shaders are finely implemented, the recoloration of the base textures has been done with no loss of integrity to the texture itself, honestly it seems clear as day that someone has undertaken that most blasphemous act of making sure their mod is consistent in quality and works well. And, on top of that, made sure the file was carefully submitted to avoid three days of email pong! Oh no, the pigs. They are flying.
On top of five colours (default cyan, red, blue, purple, green) there's also a custom soundset optionally available. The only fixings missing are NPC and bot support, which would have been nice. Also as a bit of advice, rather than including two pk3s for the skin - one with sounds and one without - you could've just had the one without and included the sounds in a seperate pk3. That would've worked. ;)
By far one of the nicer stormtrooper reskins we've had in quite a while, even if it does propagate the theory that glow = good.

That's generally what this seems to be. A "fire" texture (I use the term loosely as like most of the free "fire" textures on the internet, it looks more like orangeade) pasted over, set to watermark transparency, and then hue adjustment for the varying colors. Simple, some may even say crude, but it does at least meet the average standards of mods we get around these parts.
The traditional flaws are all here. Stock image slopped over and edited, integrity of the model's texture has been almost completely lost while applying the overlays and such, yadda yadda. I could go on but after all the MS Paint Jawas y'all know what I would've said, and you also know what I'm going to say next.
Advice? Forogorn should work at developing image editor skills. The key to retexturing, is to keep the quality and integrity of the original texture intact, while adding the customisations. Being able to recolor parts of a texture without the recoloring being identifiable or damaging the base quality is the first trick, learning how to overlay patterns to just part of the texture is the second, and learning how to create patterns and textures from scratch is the third. Focus on those three skills, because once you've got those down, the only thing between you and mastering the art of texture customisation, is practice. Take it slow, put care and attention to detail into your work, and aim for the level where you can stand your custom assets beside the base assets and won't immediately see a steep difference in quality.
Hopefully this is just an early example of Forogorn's experimentation with the image editor of choice, and we'll see much improved produce in the future.

Jaden running naked through the temple halls, searching desperately for cover. After a few moments of awkward silence, Jaden offered a polite bow and said simply, "Master Skywalker! I've come to report only marginal success with the personal cloaking device!"
(If you get that refrence, you get brownie points. Exchangeable for cake and kitten-huffing paraphernalia.
It's a simple mod really, with a simple concept behind it. Make a selectable body part for each of the default JA Jaden skins that is invisible. I see multiple uses for this, like getting that pesky model out of the way so you can see where your saber swings land, or even simulating a telekinetic lightsaber fight (like what was rumored for RotS). Whats more, you can select an invisible portion of the model. Legs? Who needs 'em! Heads? Overrated. Lets hear it for torso boy!

what I mean. :P Y'know I think I even used that same joke last time when I reviewed the first version!
Anyways, here we have v2 of Freaky Kyle, and as you can see he has been painted head to toe in red. Simple but effective I think, especially the way the eyes just jump out at you (though not literally!). Overall I think this skin looks pretty creepy! New for this version are the team skins, the red team skin is a somewhat more saturated version of the default skin, and the blue team skin is, of course, blue!
However it is here where there are a few problems because the torso and one leg of the blue team skin are missing! Poor old Kyle doesn't have a body or a left leg! I suspect this may be down to some missing textures, so it's probably not anything that would be too difficult to fix. Apart from that though I think it would be cool if there were some custom sounds added and maybe a little more variation between the team skins.
All in all a decent default skin, but the team skins do need some more work. I look forward to seeing what v3 will be like Ryuukotseiz!

ghillie suit is a class of camouflage clothing designed to resemble grass and foliage, to allow one to better blend in to their environment, compared to results achieved by wearing a camouflage-pattered BDU. The ghillie suit is worn by hunters, photographers, and military snipers, and can often limit attraction to the human eye to such a degree that the person may be rendered completely undetectable.* This mod is the second version to be released so far, and includes three ghillie suits to choose from, masked and unmasked faces, bandolier options, and team colors.[/quote]
This version includes the one in the first (forest), but we also get a jungle and savannah variant! Hehe, this is a pretty nicely done skin, not to mention that you can play as masked or unmasked, and also get to choose between bandoleer and no bandoleer. There are also team skins and non team skins for those of us who play the team based game types. Enjoy!

bunch of reborns in chainmail, wearing tunics of solid colors. I must admit, it doesn't look too bad. It doesn't look especially good, but it doesn't look bad. Actually, when viewed in-game, they look pretty cool! The armor (while it could use a shader) looks kinda spiffy.
About the biggest thing I can say is to work on the skinning, and continue on the idea. The other thing that this could use is some shading on the tunic itself, maybe some dirt or battle-scarring, and a metallic shader on the armor. Download if you like.

This is the exact same skin as that 2006 model, however now rather than replacing the reborn it is its own skin. Not much else to say about it.
~Laam'inui

that shiny shader the first time around are now red instead of white, which looks even better! I suppose this also fits in with the name ‘Red Nekuva’. Like I said last time this guy really does look like the Silver Surfers evil twin, and he looks even better now with a colour change.
There is still room for improvement however. For this version, the creepy red eyes have been removed, which I am a little disappointed at because I think they looked good. That’s really just my personal opinion however. Again though, this skin doesn’t have team support, which is a disappointment, as I hoped team support would have been added for v2. Team support is always a big part of a skin, and it makes the skin much more useable, so I hope the author will consider adding team support in a future release. :)
On the plus side though, bot support has been added and there are also some new custom sounds, which sound great as well as rather creepy! :eek:
All in all then a nice update over the original skin, changing the colour of the stars to red was a good idea I think. There is still some work that needs doing though, but for now I think this is a good skin, and if you guys like the look of it, then be sure to give it a download!

[b]Here is the author’s backstory for the Nekuva character![/b]
[quote]254.05 :I was born on Sevetta ,a volvanic planet,with radiocativity and contamination,impossible for humans to live in.
I was a combination of Denatium, Mercury and Electroglobins, the perfect ingredients to start the life of a Polydroxol. I was picked back on Sevetta by some Trandoshan scientist, back when I was just some liquid mercury, at least the is what the scientist thought I was. It took me 10 years of my life to transform into a Polydroxol, which means I was in my first stages of instinct transformation.
Thanks to eletroglobin we are able to transform into any species and able to talk any language although not many of us can master this skills, On the other side, I have only learned how to change my color.
We are a smart species with the ability to adapt to our ecosystem. Throughout the years we have evolved into something more human, adapting a complex circulatory system.
264.06:I was now a polydroxol, there was a scientist standing right infront me, he had this spectacularific face, I still remember it, it took him over a cycle to accept he had to take care of me.
His name was Lankschk a red eyed Trandoshan, who named me after his father Nekuva.
After living with him just a few days a left him, I hated Nar Shaddaa, I hated everyone around it, everybody looked at me as if they wanted to kill me, I had to be prepared for immediate actions. Didn’t took me long to adapt to that society as I said before, we are a fast adaptable species.
Asked here and there trying to find the right answer.
The answer I was looking for was: Jedi, temple, silence, peace.
The most valuable words for me.
So I got back to my father Lankschk, told him I had found my home and that I needed money, he gave me a little bag with half his savings.
I step forward into the shuttle and traveled all the way to Yavin IV, I arrived at Yavin 265.09.[/quote]
[b]For a demonstration of the skin, check out the video below[/b]

scarier version of a psycho! :eek:
From what I can tell by comparing this reskin with the original skin, it seems that most of the changes have been to the colours rather than the textures. Nonetheless this skin looks very different to the original. It is now much darker in both colour and mood, with dark grey skin and those bright red claws. The bright steel coloured armour, especially the pauldrons (the armour on the shoulder), compliments the dark grey skin and clothing. Personally this skin reminds me of something from Warhammer, it just has that kind of dark, brooding, dangerous look about it.
There are also team skins, although I think these need tweaking a bit since the team colours (which only appear on the shoulder armour) are a little too bright. I think it would look better if the team colours were a bit darker and more subdued to fit more with the theme of the skin. Though that’s just my personal opinion. Also I think that the eyes should be red for the default skin, since the green eyes seem to clash with the bright red claws. You could also make it so the team skins have blue or red eyes depending on the team, with the default skin perhaps having white eyes?
Anyway, I think this is a good skin here, and I didn’t notice any bugs. The team support and the custom taunts (General Grievous’ voice?) are nice additions, although I would also suggest adding bot support for the next time around.
Overall though, excellent work here Ravagerlord, I look forward to seeing more from you! :D

than one field of modding, but it definitely looks like Pande is one of those modders.
If you read the Readme however, you will notice something rather odd:
[quote] The armour was made in GtkRadiant 1.5 and NetRadiant, as totally black textured surfaces. I zoomed in with the camera, took multiple close up screenshots, and merged them in GIMP. I then applied the beveled effects and texture.[/quote]
I am rather puzzled at this, the armour was made in a mapping program and then turned into a texture? O.o
Well whatever method used to make it, it certainly looks good. The texture of the armour combined with the selective env mapping looks really cool and I think the Jedi Trainer model was a good choice for this skin. In fact I also agree with Pande when he says that the Jedi Trainer model is not modded or re-skinned often enough, as it does have a lot of potential.
A notable feature of this skin is that you can change it to a custom colour using a console command:
[quote] 1. use the default model from the player select menu (/model merc_jedi/default)
2. bring up the console (Shift + ~) and type /char_color_blue, /char_color_red, or /char_color_green.
The default values for all 3 is 255. A value lower than that will reduce saturation of that color.
So for example, if you want a green character you would set _blue and _red to 0, leaving _green at 255.
Colors come out darker when this is used... therefore they can also serve as an alternative to the team skins (red and blue) by having darker red and blue skins (may be more appealing to some).
[/quote]
Personally I think this is a great idea, and along with the team support, bot support and even some new custom recorded taunts this makes for a well rounded and well polished skin that is well worth a download! :)
As with all mod’s though, there are a few things which I feel could still be improved upon. The main part I am thinking of is the face, which looks a little too low resolution when compared with the rest of the skin, I definitely think some extra detail, or a higher resolution texture would be good here. Also, I feel that the boots looked a little too plain. Again this is an area where I think a bit extra detail might look cool, like some straps or buckles or maybe some mud or scuff marks to make them look more worn.
All in all though this is a very impressive skin here from Pande. And a special shout out goes to Yami_Ryou as well for making the excellent custom sounds! :D

all those sparkly stars make quite a big visual impact, never mind those menacing red eyes. Personally I really like this skin, it looks like it came out of some superhero comic book. Judging by those red eyes, this might well be a villainous character and to me he looks like he might be the Silver Surfers evil twin, or something! :P But alas, the readme doesn’t really give any background on who this character is supposed to be.
The readme hints that there will also be a Silver and Black Nekuva skin, which sounds cool. But I think a bit more work needs to be done on this one first. My main concern is the team skins, which aren’t really ‘team’ skins at all. The red and blue team skins are just the same as the default skin, which is a little bit of a disappointment. Also, there appears to be a bot file in the .pk3, however this does not appear on the ‘add bot’ list ingame.
On the upside though, this does have some really cool new custom sounds!
So, lets round up a few Pro’s and Con’s:
[b]Pro’s[/b]
[*]Very cool looking skin.
[*]Good use of a simple texture with a shader to complement it.
[*]Cool new sounds.
[b]Con’s[/b]
[*]Needs the bot support fixing.
[*]Needs unique team skins.
Overall a very cool looking skin here, but I think it needs a bit more work on the technical side. Keep up the good work though! :)

of the sort, but that’s just the idea I got!
At first glance, this looks like a rather plain grey Reborn / Cultist re-skin. But when you look closer you start to see the differences; the creepy grey eyes, the tribal tattoo’s on the face and the tribal patterns on the clothing. Personally I like these tribal motifs, they are subtle enough so they don’t jump out at you, but at the same time, enhance the look of the skin, making this guy look like a ninja or something. The team skins are also cleverly done, with the only team colours being a red or blue symbol on one sleeve near the shoulder, the rest of the skin being unchanged. Rather than the traditional way of just colouring blocks of the skin in the team colours, I think this is a clever way to make the team skins distinguishable.
There are also some really scary sounding new sounds. I don’t know how these sounds were made, but I have the feeling they may be heavily edited versions of Base JKA sounds. Whatever the case they sound suitably creepy! :eek:
As far as improvements are concerned, I personally would like to see the tribal makings made to stand out a little more. Not so much that they are no longer subtle, but a little more clear than they are now, because they are sometimes difficult to see, and as I said above, this makes the skin seem a little plain at first glance. I’m not sure what else could be improved besides that, although from what the author said in the readme, he already has some things in mind for a v2.
Anyways, this is a decent skin here, if you guys like the look of this skin, or want a new ninja like skin, then give this a download! ;)

his base to see the model in Modview. What this JK2 model consists of is IB's Mercenary Kyle, but with a desaturated jacket and some tribal tattoos. I dont understand why people always go for tribal tattoos - they're not that cool! >_> The jacket has also been given a quick photoshop texture-tool job to make it look... fuzzy. Oh, and now Kyle wears a nametag that says 'Brady', like he works in a Wal-Mart or something.
If this is your thing, go for it.

little vague, although it seems that a red team skin has been added and a few other small things have been tweaked.
Personally I rather like this skin, I was expecting a Jawa with perhaps just stars textured on its clothes (hence the cosmic name) but instead we have a really cool multicoloured – psychedelic even – Jawa that looks like he has been attacked with neon spray paint. I know some people wont really like this, but I think its cool!
There are a few things I think need some more work though, mainly I am concerned about the team skins. Whilst there is a red team skin, which features a red bandoleer and different coloured robes, the blue version seems to be the same as the default version, which could be a bit confusing. I definitely think this skin needs a unique blue team skin rather than it being the same as the default skin. Also, only some of the sounds seem to be Jawa sounds, the taunt and roll sounds were just the default human sounds, so that’s one other small thing to work on for next time.
Overall though this is a very colourful skin, and I think it looked pretty cool. I must admit the idea of a ‘cosmic Jawa’ is a little bizarre, but the results look cool nonetheless, so keep up the good work mate! :)
If you guys like the look of this skin, or just like bright, multi-coloured skins, then give this a download. Also, don’t forget to leave the author some helpful feedback in the comments section, especially if you are a fellow skinner, so he knows where to improve for next time.

colour of the skin from black to an extremly pale/grayish red colour. Which frankly I don't think looks that great. However, at this point the demon swamptrooper leaves its basic re-skin brothers behind in the dust. The author has actually done more than changing the base colour, he has included some red patterns across the skin using brushes in Adobe Photoshop.
From the back, you can see some swirly patterns going across the body, and some nice vein looking streaks going over the helmet. However, there is a lot more to be seen from the front, but I'm not sure this is such a good thing. More isnt always better, as so many people seem not to realise. From the back, I actually think the skin looks nice, but from the front it looks a bit overdone.
Team support has been included, but they are just the standard swamptrooper team skins, and no new sounds have been added. However, i'm glad to see people are starting to do more than just changing the colour of skins and submitting them, using brushes like this is the first step though, next time try to make some nice new textures for the suit, and then incorporate some patterns into it using brushes, you will get a much nicer result.
If you like the look of the patterns in the screenshot, then give it a download, it looks a bit nicer in-game I think.

something extraordinary. They were all so unique and the masses loved them, as did Averus' undead hordes. This is a sequel to the CT Elite Force mod pack by Tobe that included some skins as well as some new sabers modeled as guns - not surprisingly the guns were more popular than the skins and people were requesting that they be made into actual gun replacements. A friend of mine tried to do that with less than perfect results (First person view was missing and the effects were glitchy), and though some people were content with it, others still wanted Tobe to make an actual weapon replacement pack.
He's done it and included it with this update to his CT Elite Force skinpack, and he's outdone himself once again. I'm amazed by the quality of this pack, and I'll start with the skins.
First off this pack includes the skins from the original CT Elite Force, so you can delete the old one and replace it with this new version. These original skins aren't changed very much from the originals but are still great skins. There's 3 helmeted, camo commandos that really look great - blue, red, and default. Tobe is able to make each of these three look unique but at the same time tie in to the central skin, and it's so refreshing as most people would just dunk the original skin blue and red and be done with it. Also included are the bare-skin, muscley, Arnold Schwarrzenegger Predator-style commandos with body paint and bandannas.
The new skins featured in this version are based off the plain old Snowtrooper model and they completely transform it. These skins follow the theme of the whole pack and are camouflaged commandos, and there are 3 versions as there were with the originals: default, red team, and blue team, and again Tobe is able to make each one unique. The pattern of camouflage varies slightly between each as does the color (obviously) and as does the styles of body armor. My personal favorite of the three is the default green one which wears a sort of pleated-segmented-layered armor that reminds me of the Korean Nanosuits in Crysis. The Korean Nanosuits, for the record, are way cooler than the boring American ones simply because they're camo and their armor has a cool texture.
Did I mention all the skins are available in the species selection menu so you can use them in single player?
The new sabers in the pack are upgraded versions of those featured in the old one; the saber-guns make a return as do some of the shields. There are a couple combat knives which are very nicely done if someone boring when compared to the laser-pointing-gun-sabers and the 4 types of shields. The shields range from your standard, though sexy, SWAT shield, to a glowing hunk of metal that wouldn't be out of place in a Gundam episode; it looks extremely heavy, is very stylin' and crackles with electricity when you bash in the skulls of your enemies.
Speaking of bashing in the skulls of your enemies, it's never been easier than it is with these completely new guns! :D Tobe includes new models, as well as new effects and new sounds, for every single one of the guns and explosives and they're all extremely well thought out and implemented. All of the weapons are great; the models feature tons of little details and the skins really make them feel like heavy duty weapons. Every skin is scratched and worn and because of it every gun now reminds me of the Trandoshan weapons from Republic Commando. They range, just like the shields, from the realistic to the Star...Warsey. The blaster pistol is replaced by a silenced... I think it's a 9mm, though it looks like a 10mm from Fallout 3. Either way it has a laser pointer, which is nice. The E-11 is now an SMG with a flashlight attachment that actually lights up the area you point it at! :o The bowcaster is now a crossbow that fires nasty looking bolts with green feathers, and the thermal detonator has been replaced with a real-life grenade that is, as the skin says on the side, 'highly explosive'.
Now we move into the Star Warsey though, and I've got to say I love it. From the very nice disruptor with it's own laser pointer to the heavy repeater and the rocket launcher, all the models work extremely well and the skins look great. My two favorites though are the heavy repeater and concussion rifle, and let me briefly go over why. The repeater model is so unique when compared to anything I've seen before. It's like a sort of minigun, but it still works so perfectly with the base JA animations; you hold it with a handle that rises up from the actual gun and also serves as the trigger mechanism. The actual gun consists of the 3 barrels, a grenade launcher beneath that, and an ammunition drum that looks like it could hold a hundred rounds.
The Concussion rifle deserves its own paragraph. This massive hulk of death is one of the most intimidating things I have ever seen modeled for JKA. The weapon itself is huge, perhaps 3 feet in length, and looks extremely heavy. It has blast shields all around it that protect the user from the actual blast of the weapon, and the effects are great. It really feels powerful now.
I only have a few criticisms for the file as a whole, and I'll put them in a neat little list that's easy to read.
- The sounds for the weapons could have been better. They really lacked that 'Oomph' that's needed to make a gun feel real and dangerous in a game.
- Some of the effects were incomplete or didn't really match. For example the bowcaster and blaster pistol still have the glowing 'charge' blaster effect. The muzzle flashes are also the default ones.
- You should have custom sounds for the skins, even if the default JA ones kind of fit they get old really fast. In fact they're already old just because they're default JA.
Only 3 real things I think could be improved for this file. Damn. Nice job Tobe.

from the dead! BREEEEEEEE! He has come to take an evil vengeance on all those who have tried to kill him.
In case you couldn't decrypt that, this skin is a Rosh zombie. I find the concept highly amusing, even though I'm sure it has been done before. However, this one takes the lie. I mean, the cake. BREEEEEEE!
Rosh is now covered in blood and wounds everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE. There's a nice ripped open scar on his cheek, and his entire left side is covered in open wounds. This being a first skin, they don't look perfect and it looks a little like red smears down around his waist, but his face alone communicates the idea very well. BREEEEEE!
Now for the best part...all-new sounds are included. And man, they are scary. Most of them are a hissing pig squeal sound (hence the BREEEEE)...believe it or not, they are recorded by a [i]human voice[/i]. I found them highly entertaining, and creepy at the same time.

the Dark Jedi theme, but there you go.
For those of you who arenï¿½t aware of what an Emo is, they are large flightless birds native to Australia, andï¿½umm wait, no sorry thatï¿½s an Emu. Ehem. :P This [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emo]Wikipedia Article[/url] should thoroughly explain the concept of Emo, for anyone who doesnï¿½t know what it is.
Anyway, here we have an Emo Jedi, complete with the trademark dark clothing and black hair with bangs across the forehead, together with a dash of white highlight in there too. This fellowï¿½s face is also rather pale, which actually makes him look a little creepy, at least to me anyway. A cool feature of this mod is that the character is customisable using the customisation screen in the profile menu. There are a variety of different options, including robed versions and also different heads with slightly different hairstyles.
There are a few things I definitely think need to be added for next time. The most major one is team support. Unfortunately this skin doesnï¿½t have team skins, which is a bit of a disappointment, as I feel team skins could have allowed for some more variation in the look of the character. For instance, instead of the white highlights in the hair, you could have had red or blue highlights for the red or blue team, which would have fitted well with the Emo theme. Also you could have had slightly different clothing or hair styles to go along with each team skin.
This skin does have some new Anakin sounds, which is cool, but they only appear to replace the death and taunt sounds and not the pain and rolling sounds. Personally I think its best to have a full set of new sounds if you are going to add new sounds to your mod. However saying that, the default sounds do sound just fine, so that isnï¿½t a big problem really.
Overall though this is an interesting and different reskin of the HapSlash Anakin model here, certainly something I wouldnï¿½t have expected. This is a good skin though and I think it is a cool idea, so well done to the author. Keep up the good work mate! :)

difference: It's a Santa/Christmas version! It looks like Santa fell into a pool of toxic waste, because he's become a horrid little monster! Or is it cute?
The first thing you'll notice about this re-skin is the multiple add-on's to the body. The author decided to add a green belt , and green gloves. To be honest, It looks decent. The snowflakes on the skin aren't to bad looking, but they could be better. When I think Santa Jawa, I picture one in a Santa outfit. That's it. Attempting to make anything else Santa-related usually doesn't work out.
I'd also like to make all of you aware of the team skins and npc versions. They aren't to different from the default skin, except for a few color switches and a robe add-on. They aren't to bad looking if I must say so myself. There's two NPC Santa types that come along with this skin: One is a good one, and the other is evil. The npc names are as followed:
[b]/model jawa_santa (Good version)[/b]
[b]/model jawa_santa_evil (Bad version)[/b]
I was disappointed when I found out there wasn't any sound file changes. I half expected the author to at least add a Santa sound file with a taunt saying, ''Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!'' or something of that nature. But, there was no changes sadly. Nevertheless, that can always be changed in a version two.
Overall, this isn't a bad re-skin of the Jawa. Although, the author should of submitted this on Christmas (Unless he didn't start on it until after that is.) I recommend you add new sound files if you decide to make a version two of this skin. This is definitely worth a download if you want a change with the Jawa!

The first aspect you'll notice about this skin is the legs and hands. The author decided to use the Shadowtrooper leggings, and other parts of the torso from the original default skin. To be honest, this was a good add-on feature. It gives the skin a rebel Kit Fisto look, if you catch my drift. It kind of reminds me of a street brawl in a movie, when they take their shirts off to reveal their ridiculously large six-packs, and massive muscles. Except the only difference is, they are human, and Kit Fisto is well, an alien. Anyways, the textures aren't to bad. They could be better in my opinion, but that can be fixed in another version.
The other thing you'll notice is the sound files. I'm not sure why everybody thinks it's nice to add Rancor sound files to their skin and/or model. It's scary enough having a rancor chase you around for an hour. Do you really want to scare everybody? >_>
The author also decided to add two different versions of the skin. One of them makes the skin tone black, and the other one makes it white. They both add small and minor texture changes to the actual skin of Kit as well. Personally, I think they add some creativity to the skin. If it was just the default skin, and nothing else, I wouldn't approve of this very much. But, the author surprised me, and I'm glad he did.

This skin is kind of a hit and miss. The pro's are that the author put his best into the textures and minor tweaks he applied, and he added color variety. The con's are that I would of chose different sound files, because everybody uses the rancor sound files for their skins and models. I'd hate to be the one to burst your bubbles, but it's [i]way[/i] to repetitive. Maybe in a second version you can find new sound files to use. I'm sure everybody would enjoy that.
Overall, this isn't a bad skin. I would just take in to consideration that my recommendations could be of great help to you, and your skin. Improvements are always good, you know? This is definitely worth a download if you want a change for Kit Fisto.

trim. He has a military haircut and carries a rather firm expression. The eyes are white...kind of scary in a dark environment.
This skin also has a little goodie I don't remember seeing much of in the past. The author has recorded their own sounds! It sounds like they ran it through a pitch changer, though, so that's a bit of a downer. Also, there are no new death sounds.
I can't think of much more to say about the skin, except that I definitely like it. If I were in the market for a new skin, I would consider this one. Have a look if you're interested!

May I be the first to say: Oh my dear god.
Now we have that out the way, onto the review. I have only one word to describe this pack, brilliant. Just for the pure novelty of it, the blood looks good, the eyes look, white, and the colouring gives you that 'I want to eat your shin' feel. Not the greatest blood out there and colour contrast could have been better, but, it does exactly what it says on the tin. It also makes me sort of crave a KFC.
All in all a good novelty skin of epic chicken munching proportions, I'll be keeping it, will you?

model, which is supposed to resemeble author's vision of his wife as a jedi o.o
The skin isn't too complex but that doesn't mean it's bad looking either. Majority of basic textures were redone or replaced with author's own ones.
Let's begin with the head, the face was completly retextured, so don't worry about seeing simply Tavion is different clothes, although the face texture could use some work, mainly because it's looking kind of blurry ingame. Next we have the hair, because of known model limitations the mesh couldn't be changed, textures were darkened and those leaf-like addons in hair were recolored into bloody red.
Next let's move onto torso. The leather-like armor was reskinned into something that looks like dark silver armor with red patterns on it, once again the texture is a bit blurry, could use maybe some metalic pattern put on it. Arms are mostly naked except for the metal things at forearm and upper arm areas. Hands are covered with dark gloves.
Now's the time for legs. The pants are black but still detailed. All the shading on them looks nice and not too blurry making it good looking. There are also kneepads on them and some sharp, looking like bend knifes metallic addons. The boots are very dark, also black and just like the pants, they have silver addon plates on them.
Overall it's a good skin, that needs a bit more work to look even better. I demand you submit bandwidth so neither the author nor his wife feel bad D:<

The first thing I noticed about this skin is that it's Taco Bell themed. The robes have been re-colored, with Red on the top half of the jawa, and white on the bottom. The author also decided to place the Taco Bell logo multiple places throughout the Jawa's robes. Also, for some reason, he added brown straps with a bit of yellow and red figures on the front of them. I'm going to assume that this is [i]supposed[/i] to be something related to food and beverages at Taco Bell? You'll have to confirm that for me, because I can't make what they are exactly..
The author also decided to make the eyes into the Taco Bell logo, which I thought was pretty creative, and feels a bit silly as well. The only problem I noticed was, the whole logo didn't fit in the eye sockets, and it makes it look bad. Maybe the author can do something about that in a possible V2.
Overall, this isn't a [i]horrible[/i] skin. I'd suggest improving the placements of your textures, so they aren't so much bunched together and overlapping eachother. Other than that, I didn't really see any other problems.
Personally, I wouldn't use it, but some of you would. So, if you'd like a Taco Bell Jawa, go ahead and download this.

him from top to bottom. It pulsates, bright and dim. I honestly have no idea what to think of it. To me, it looks kind of like he was crawling through a pulsating paper fence and it got stuck to him.
In the way of bugs, there is one slight texture misalignment on the back of the hood, but that's all I saw. Otherwise, it functions as intended. Honestly, though...let me put it this way: I like glowy or pulsating things a lot, but it needs to look like it belongs there.
No extras are included on this one, though. Have a look at the screenshots if you're interested.

and models at their best, Dynamic Glow is advised.**[/b]
Plus blades: There are four different coloured plus blades: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow. The handle and the guard are decentley textured - no faults there. When looking at the metal blade and coloured crystal(?) from the saber selection menu, the texture didn't get a 'yes' from me. It looked too scratched and the back face of the sword, where I presume it was extruded, has a stretched texture on it, which also let it down. BUT, when in game, it didn't bother me at all. I - you won't really see the texture on the sword much due to the great dynamic glow on the crystal.
SW-141:
Incase some of you don't know who Commando SW-141 is, (I didn't) ''Commando SW-141 is a l33t mercenary working for the republic'' and he is a reskin of the Swamptrooper, as said earlier. There are four variations: Blue, Green, Red, Yellow. R,G,B are all selectable from the main character screen. Green being default and Red and Blue being team colours. Yellow can only be selected from the customizable character screen. Here you can mix them up any way you like, which I really liked - good addition.
The skins themselves look very good and I was impressed with them - even without the dynamic glow they still look pretty good.
The swamptrooper skin has been saturated and have had colours added to their helmet, arms, torso and legs. SW-141 has also been written across the side of his torso.
Sounds: There are new sounds for the SW-141 made by him. There is one taunt sound, as far as I know, and it says 'I'll cut your head off.' ~lol~. There are several death sounds aswell, but I can't type them out, for obvious reasons
Overall:
I found this a brilliant pack and I will most definatley be keeping it in my base folder. Again, good job SithMasteR555![/quote]
Not a lot has been changed since version 1, so here's the author's list of changes:
[quote]I improved the lightblades as well.
I made most of the parts of SW-141's textures on my own, but still, there's
some stock textures which i recolored/darkened.
Also, I edited the sounds[/quote]
And there you have it: a review that writes itself!
Now, I don't know why, but I liked the glow. I have always liked glowing skins or swords, and this was no exception. I think one or two of the sounds could have used a little more tweaking, but overall, this is a really nice file. I'm very impressed that the author made his own sounds - that's pretty uncommon. Good work!

the npc names:
[b]/npc spawn airwampa[/b]
[b]/npc spawn earthwampa[/b]
[b]/npc spawn firewampa[/b]
There is also another wampa npc model that doesn't seem to work, which is /npc spawn darknesswampa. I'm not sure if the author made a mistake there, or what.
Now, the author decided to use three of the four elements (Earth, Fire, and Air), as his theme for these reskinned wampas, which is similar to [url="http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/Wampa_Pack;68674"]Morzan's Wampa Pack[/url].
The first Wampa you'll come across is Air. The fur color was changed to a light blue, and there was some darker blue spots added throughout the body. In my opinion, light blue looks to similar to water. Maybe you could change the light blue to a dark Gray possibly? That could be to close to the default Wampa though.
Next in the line-up is Fire. Now, is it just me or does it actually look like he could be on fire? Seriously, if you could add a flame animation to the skin, it would make it so much more incredible. The only problem is, that wouldn't be to realistic. That's quite unfortunate, I know. The colors used on this Wampa are red, orangeish red, yellow, and a bit of brown. The only real problem I have with this one is that it seems to rusty looking. Maybe brighten the colors a bit, but not to much. I think that would definitely improve the quality of it.
The last Wampa in the pack is Earth. From first glance, it almost looked like a grizzly bear with horns, or am I seeing things? Oh well. Anyways, the specific color on this Wampa is brown, and a bit of red on his chin and pectorals. From what I saw, there wasn't really any [i]major[/i] problems on this Wampa that should be pointed out.
All in all, this Wampa pack isn't bad at all. Although, the textures could be improved a bit on all of them, and those recommendations I gave you could possibly be added into a V2.
This pack is definitely worth a download if you want a change for the Wampa.

second time. More like a Meat Company Maul to me...
[quote]Is it just me, or is Darth Maul way too famous?
Anyways, here we have a modified version of NeoMarz's Maul VM Model. The only difference between the skin and NeoMarz's original model is, the author decided to give his version a diabolic face effect.
From first glance, I noticed that the author completely changed the face. The original model made by Marz had a darker skin tone, and this author decided to brighten the skin tone. This made it a much brighter red than the original. Also, he chose to give Darth Maul's mouth an evil, and twisted smile. I actually think this was a great modification to the face, because it's definitely diabolic looking. It's scary isn't it? >_>
Other than the modification to the face, nothing else was changed. The author decided not to add the original models sound files. In my honest opinion, this was disappointing. What's the point in using Darth Maul if you don't add his Phantom Menace lines? It doesn't give him any meaning! =_O
All in all, this wasn't a bad re-skin of NeoMarz's MaulVM. Although, I suggest some improvements in the sound file department. I think you should consider actually adding his lines from the Phantom Menace in a possible future version.
This is definitely worth a download if you want a Diabolic-looking Maul. [/quote]
Basically, the only change in this version is his clothes have been splattered in blood. Hence my dubbing him Meat Company Maul. The overall quality of the blood is decent, but there's simply too much of it.
There really isn't much else to say, really...

informational department if I did that. First, I'll try to inject some educational value into this, so listen up kiddies!
[quote]The firing of Shoop Da Whoop lasers, especially in crowded indoor environments, frequently results in personal injury, massive damage and property damage - which, as we all know, is fricking hilarious and should be encouraged among today's hopelessly corrupted youth. Shooping is the mouth version of Falcon Punch. Concentrate win in your mouth, then release. That's why Tacos reverse the Beam, because everyone knows Tacos are concentrated phail.[/quote]
Right. Now that you all are on the same page as I am I think I can review this file. This is a attempt to liken the default Jedi Academy reborn (Not the new reborns, mind you) to SHOOP DA WHOOP. Unfortunately, it falls quite short. The model just isn't good for this type of thing. It's been dyed black first of all, which is a given and a must when making a SHOOP DA WHOOP skin. The details, however, such as the mouth, are what are lacking. The mouth is all distorted and the eyes are in completely wrong positions. The mouth doesn't even have any teeth or a tongue, and the head comes off looking more like a fish with googly eyes than SHOOP DA WHOOP. The skin also includes a proper SHOOP DA WHOOP head on the back, in case any of you were wondering what it's supposed to look like, and it has some text to tell you what it is. If you want my suggestion for a version 2, make it a wookiee skin and just paste the SHOOP DA WHOOP face on to the wookiee head; it's been done and I assure you it looks very good.
There is an upside to all this, though! The sounds! We have new sounds which include the lazor explosion and the oh-so-famous IMMA FIRIN' MAH LAZOR!!!

difference is supposed to be other than Kyle’s apparent injuries. Both skins feature a healthy (or unhealthy, should I say) smattering of what appear to be blood stains. Added to that Kyle now has rather bloodshot eyes. One of the skins features a very prominent black eye, so poor Kyle must have been in one heck of a fight…with who exactly is left to the imagination of the downloader. At first I thought maybe it was from a fistfight with Desann…but then I thought maybe Jan had a bad day, ‘hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’ as they say… ;)
Ehhmm…. anyway, the skins also feature what look like a lot of cuts, all over Kyle, and also a lot of black dots. Now, this is where I think there could be some improvements. The black dots especially looked out of place and I am not sure exactly what they are supposed to represent (although I think they are actually blaster burn marks). Also I noticed a lot of the cuts, bruises and also the black dots appeared to be much the same on each side of the skin, as though one half of the skin had just been mirrored.
Other than that I would say that one of the skins really has rather too much red on it, I’m presuming that it is supposed to be blood, but there is a bit too much of it on the skin and it doesn’t look quite right. The most noticeable thing though is the lack of team support, definitely something to add for next time.
Overall it looks like Jan..ermm or maybe Desann has given Kyle a good working over here! This is a decent skin here, although I definitely think it needs quite a bit more work. Keep up the skinning mate, I look forward to seeing more files from you! :)

Desann look as if he was violently attacked by teenagers with spray cans. There are 5 red spots of red on his back which look very odd indeed especially since they're not symmetrical.
I must point out that if you use one of the many mods which add Jedi Outcast sounds to Jedi Academy then you will hear this Desann skin as a cultist and not how he should sound. For some odd reason the author has included Obi Wan Kenobi sounds which the skin doesn't use and just makes the file size a lot bigger.
There is bot and NPC support which is a nice little extra but no sign of team support.
All in all it looks like there wasn't much detail put into this skin as it's clear the author could of done more.
I would suggest adding the Jedi Outcast sounds in version 2, no one likes to hear Desann on helium :).

Skulldron[/url]. From what I see, the author decided to use the Quinlan Vos skin for his version.
[b]Before I begin, I want to let all of you know that this file is in .rar format. So, this means that you'll to download a program like WinRaR or 7-Zip, and unpack the rar file. Although, I suggest using WinRaR. You can download it here:[/b]

The first thing you'll notice about this skin is metallic/steel face, which is engulfed by a black hood. This was the face of Xerxes Elite Guard, or ''Immortals,'' in the popular film [i]300[/i]. To be honest, I think it was a great idea to use the face of the the elite guard on this skin. It just adds to the mystery in my opinion. Also, he made the hands metallic too. I'm going to assume here that possibly the whole body is metallic? Correct me if I'm wrong... >_>
Another thing I noticed was the fact that you used the Quinlan Vos skin for this version. This was quite disappointing in my eyes. It kind of ruins the whole idea of the ''Mystic Grave Guard''. You'd think a Grave Guard would be in robes or something. At least, that's what my depiction of it would be. I suggest that if you make a second version, it's recommended that you replace that Quinlan Vos skin with a robed version instead. It will look so much better, and It will really make it seem ''mystic''.
[b]Just so most of you are aware, there is an ''extra'' feature to this skin. The author decided to add a robed version as well, (Which definitely covers up what I don't like), so you'll have to type this command into the console to use it:[/b]
[b]/model mystic_graveguard/robe[/b]
As we move on, the last thing you'll notice is the sound files. The only thing the author changed was the taunt. When I first pressed my taunt button, I was quite scared.. It seems that the author decided to use a very scary, and evilish laugh.
[b]WARNING: This laugh may cause you to experience nightmares! Beware! =_O[/b]
Well, maybe not.. but the taunt is really twisted sounding. I guess you can expect that from a lonely grave guard. They don't do much, do they? All they do is guard graves.. sounds like fun doesn't it?
All in all, this isn't a [i]bad[/i] skin. I suggest some improvements be implemented in a version two. I strongly recommend you replace that Quinlan Vos skin with a robed version. It will look MUCH better, trust me. Also, maybe you could add some more sound files..? Perhaps some fall sounds?
Anyways, this is definitely worth a download if you want something different, or wanna be a mysterious Grave Guard.

Xiao, but maybe that's just me. Anyways, Takooni decided to make a Halloween version of his original [url="http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/Tankoonis_Stick_Man;87730"]Takooni's Stick Man[/url], and It's not to bad.
[b]Just so you know, you'll need the original skin pack to actually use this version, which you can download from the above link.[/b]
When I first looked at this skin pack, I noticed that the author didn't make many improvements to this ''special'' version. One thing I [i]did[/i] notice was that horns were added for the Halloween effect. I'm guessing it's to make it look more spooky, and creepy. The feet and hands are still squareish looking, which is a tad bit disappointing in my opinion. I expected him to try to round them a bit, so it looks better. So, I suggest attempting to do that in a future version. There's also a second version to the default skin, which makes the skeletal structure visible. I thought this was very creative, and It's definitely a plus.
There is one major feature you'll notice, and that's the shaders. To be honest, the shaders aren't to bad. The orange and black definitely add to the Halloween theme, which I loved. Although, I would definitely suggest reading up on shaders a bit more, they could use some improvement. Overall, you did a great job on them.
One last feature you'll notice is the sounds. It definitely goes with the Stick man skin, which was creative as well. The taunt also sounds pretty funny too.. >_>
Apparently, there's a ''secret'' skin in this pack. You'll have to guess the name of it on your own time. I will not reveal the model name mortals! =_O

we have a hooded shadowy figure, with lots of glowy patches on him. Now, some of you who have read my reviews before will know that I am drawn to glowy things like a magpie to shiny is to shiny things. :P So I am already liking the use of glowy shaders on this skin. The eyes and various other parts (including areas on the shoulders and boots) glow in a red light that contrasts nicely with the very dark, almost black, clothing. The face is completely black and has no features except for the menacing, glowing eyes, I think this is I think, the third scary looking skin I have reviewed today!
The skin itself looks very good, and the author has chosen a good custom model to use here. There are also team skins included here, with the team colours being subtly tinted on the robes. Not so subtle are the glowy bits, the red teams are red (as is the default skins) and the blue team now has blue glowy bits, which I think look cool. ;)
New sounds are also included! Like the skin these are dark and brooding and fit very well with the theme of the skin.
As for things to be improved upon…well I’m really not sure, since this skin is well made and well rounded off as it is. I think perhaps some patterns on the clothes and maybe a slightly more defined face would look cool. Also I really think this skin would go well with a custom hilt designed especially for it.
Overall then good work here, I look forward to seeing more from you mate! :)

“I will eat u”. Ooook, so we have a cannibal Reborn! And to reinforce that point his monochrome robes are spattered with a few blotches of blood here and there.
Like I said, his robes are monochrome – completely de-saturated to grey – and so is his face. Combined with the rather gory blood patches this actually makes a very effective skin. The face especially is scary, all you have to do is de-saturate a Reborn’s face and you instantly get a very scary looking bad guy! There is not much else to say, as this is a fairly simple re-skin. It is however very effective! The grey clothing and skin combined with the blood spatters make for quite a scary looking Reborn indeed. :eek:
As for things to work on, well this skin does include team skins, but they are just the default Reborn team skins. So for next time I would suggest making some custom team skins, perhaps keeping the overall colour scheme of the original, but maybe with a few patches if colour here and there on his clothes.
All in all though a very scary Reborn reskin indeed! If you guys like the look of this, and aren’t too freaked out by it, give it a download! ;)

Apparently these guys are from Kingdom Hearts, but unfortunately I don’t know anything about that, nor was I able to find any reference pictures after a quick search on the net. Therefore I will review this skin on its merits since I don’t really know how accurate it is.
First off, like I said at the start, this guy is scary! This is a re-skin of the Jet Trooper model from JKA Single Player, decked out in black armour which looks like a cross between gothic and slightly techno looking armour. I’m glad to see a re-skin of the Jet Trooper, since it is quite an obscure model! This file also includes team skins, which I think have been done well, since the colouring is subtle yet still easy to see as you can see from the screenshots below. Personally I think the red team skin looks like the guys armour has gone slightly rusty though! :P
The skin also includes new sounds, which sound somewhat mechanical and scary, fitting well with the gothic/techno looking armour. There are a few points I think could be worked on though, for one, the face does look a bit too ‘stormtrooper-ish’ for a character from manga. Although saying that, since I don’t know what these guys actually look like, it might be completely accurate for all I know! One other thing is that the skin does have bot support, which would be a cool feature to add for next time.
Overall though this is a pretty cool skin and like I said I am glad to see a re-skin of the Jet Trooper model!
If you guys like the look of it, give it a download! :)

had some difficulty getting this file on to the server, and I eventually had to transfer it to JK3files using FTP server-server transferring. I tell you this because I want all of you out there TO KNOW ALL OF THE HARD WORK I GO THROUGH FOR YOU. Kay, on to the review.
What we have here is a skin based off of [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Blocko182/My_Mando_Self_by_Delta2094.jpg]this deviant[/url], hence the name Deviant Mandalorian. It's a rather popular concept of a Mandalorian, being the subject of many skinning attempts by different people including myself. It is, quite obviously, an Imperial-esque Mando. Diablos did something special with his version, however.
It's a very nice skin. Even without the shaders piled on (Which add to it) it looks great. The actual textures are fairly simple. Mostly just white armor, though the shaders really add some depth to it. There are lots of different options, which you can access via a SPECIES CUSTOMIZATION MENU. YES. I know you're just as excited about this as I am, considering the fact that we all 'love' these customization menus. It also means you get to use him to kill Rosh in single player which is always an upside. The different customization options range from 3 heads (One normal helmet, one with electrobinoculars, and one unhelmeted version where he wears a sexy ninja mask), multiple torsos, and 2 different jetpacks or no jetpack at all.
New sounds are included, and they're pretty cool, though I have no idea what they're from. My favorite part about them is that you have the static 'Kssh' 'Kssh' at the start and end of each thing he says, which really adds to the effect that it's coming out of a helmet or commlink.
If you want a scary imperial Mandalorian to hunt down rebel scum as, submit your souls... I mean... download this file!

proceed....about a couple paces over, and recolor this baby into a fox. That's about all that happened here. There's not much to compare, save for the orange recolor. It's a pleasant change from that lemon yellow color for sure though.
The actual attractions in my opinion would have to be the team skins, believe it or not. The red skin has a red/white/black color scheme similar to the red team skin of the gray fox model, whilst the blue skin has a blue, black, and (predominantly) white schematic. They definitely speak out more than the default does.

particular probably overdue thematically speaking.
Basically, the reborn was reskined into a ninja, for the most part. The author said it looked pretty decent, and I won't aim to argue with him. It doesn't look too bad at all. In essence, it pretty much has what a ninja would need without having to tack on additional model parts. There are also team colors and a white variant. It works for the purpose it served. I guess the only thing I'd wonder about is in the sound department. I personally would have had silence for all sounds, but perhaps that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, definitely worth perusing.

Now Averus' review pretty much sums up the whole skinpack. The main change in this version is the addition of 'Single player support' as everyone seems to call it, although I like to say Species Customization. You can now mix and match your favorite ninja body parts, which turns out surprisingly good looking with most combinations. No new sounds have been added, though it still keeps all its previous merits.

review. I'll do my best to muddle through it, though I think screenshots would do it the most justice. Now as the author didn't leave any I've gone and taken a few in Modview for him. Basically what we have is a Mandalorian model with a ton of different, conflicted images pasted onto it. Not a single piece of the skin fits, aside from the torso; everything else looks butchered. Try again, my good sir. Maybe you'll do better next time.

Infinity Blade. At first, my searches were unable to find this model, but, typical slow-witted me, I didn't think to check the JK[b]2[/b] section. I didn't do that until two sentences ago. :P
The original Mercenary Kyle featured a young Katarn, wearing leather pants, some chest armor, and a light-colored coat above that. His hands have gloves on, with a triangle of armor in them. This new Merc-kyle has been given red hair and what looks to be a quasi-complete shave, although it might be a 5 O'clock shadow, or even bare skin, it's hard to tell. The vest has been darked, as have been the pants and boots. The hands were replaced with one of Ravensoft's hand textures, and the eyes were colored green. The only reason this qualifies as a skin is the chest armor. It's been replaced with what looks like chain mail from far away. Up close, it looks like a light and dark gray texturizer filter with some warping. To top everything off on this slightly less than beta skin, it overrides the original Mercenary Kyle. Bot support is also default, and team skins are non-existent.
Ok, I think this skin has suffered enough torture from me, so I'll end it here: The author has a lot of work ahead of them.

looked pretty decent, and I won't aim to argue with him. It doesn't look too bad at all. In essence, it pretty much has what a ninja would need without having to tack on additional model parts. There are also team colors and a white variant. It works for the purpose it served. I guess the only thing I'd wonder about is in the sound department. I personally would have had silence for all sounds, but perhaps that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, definitely worth perusing.

essentially, a cat-person for those unfamiliar with the race. For all those unenlightened KOTOR fanatics out there, Juhani was a less common strain, and did not necessarily represent the entire race's appearance.
So, first impression was actually quite good. While the head hardly suggests a feline shaped one, it definitely suggests that the majority of the head on the model is acting as a mask for the critter.
The armor here is pretty minimal, acting mostly for covering the essentials, leaving the torso exposed save for a bandolier. It looks brilliant, ignoring the slight texture mismatched in the tiger stripes.
Speaking of tigers, there are actually a number of versions of the skin. To be specific, we have:
- Tiger
- White Tiger
- Jaguar
- Black Manther
- Puma
All of which splendid, a particular favorite of mine being the Black Panther, as it makes the armor pieces feel like bone =_,= strangely enough, this skin made me learn a little something about black panthers. Those spots on there? Completely true O_o
I wouldn't say the sounds are spectacular, but they aren't bad either. I daresay you'll be thrown off by pain25, and they're all in .wav form, but otherwise, they befit a mighty and powerful beast.
Overall, you can hardly lose with this skin. It's quite impressive, and I could see a number of uses for it in a variety of fields. NPCs and Bots are the only thing missing, but otherwise it's a solid skinpack. Do your civic duty, and destroy the local vampire Sedan nearest you. Afterwards, acquire this file.

away. MooMooMonkey (Lawl@name) brings us a very nice reskin of her.
According to the author, this skin is of a jedi of his creation that becomes 'One of the most elite of the jedi'. Now I've never been one for Jedi RP - I find it rather dull and repetitive (I much prefer Mando'ade), but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good Jedi skin, does it? I hope not, because this is a good skin indeed! He has taken her face and turned her into a normal human with normal skin (I feel her nose could be more defined. Hard to see it.) and with a tunic/cloak that seem very elven to me. I also rather like the olive-color-theme; very pleasant to the eye and it works with the skin. My only suggestion for the cloth would be to smooth it out a bit and add some texture. You know there's that effect when you brighten up something that's really dark - You get that patchy, pixely look. If you got rid of that and gave the cloth abit of texture it would be perfect.
This includes bot support and team skins, but no new sounds unfortunately. Try to work those in next time.[/quote]
So =_= V2...luckily, there's a change list, so let's see what's been done, and I'll judge and see if it was successful =_= *extracts changes from readme.
-Clothes are clothier[Success]: These definitely looks like clothes, although that cloak still reminds me of either a carpet or stripped tree bark.
-Belted... thing around the arms are more detailed and aren't attached to the sleeve[Success]
-The bottom of the black pants line up correctly this time[Success]
-Fixed red team skin's cape problem.[Fail]: Whilst I'm not sure what problem you referred to, there are still problems to be found! The inside of the cape was not to be found, for both teams. A shame.
-Attempted to make the nose clearer without making it look huge[Success]: Pretty visible, I suppose. The attempt to make the upper half of her face darkened due to the hood wasn't very successful though =_o it looks more like a skin tone mismatch versus a a lighting effect. A valiant try though.
So, that about wraps it up in a nutshell. Oh and...

it.[/quote] Said the Author!
A Robin Hood !! Yay! As a big fan of Robin Hood i expected some cool things from this skin. Sadly its one of those reborn reskins again. The Colors and are great and it looks fab but sadly nothing like robin hood. The Clothes are plain and i mean PLAIN with capital PLAIN the hood ruins the whole thought of it being robin hood. and the lack of a quiver of arrows just destroys it. This does to be honest look more like a Reborn who lost his Robes and had to wear his Gym Kit.
The bad does overrule the good.
There are SOME good things the author has included both support npc support and team skins. He even states SP Support which i cannot test due to me being a Movie Duels Addict. The Author has good icons for the skin that DO show up in your Skin Chooser on the Profile Page!!
Overall a little more work is needed

long of searching on google for a comparison reference, I gave up XD I'm not sure if there's even anything that vaguely looks like what the author has created here. Maybe I'd have to play the game to find out, but I don't intend to =_=.
Case in point, this is just a MS paint reskin. Quick inversion of the body textures, pitchblacken the face, whiten the mouth_eyes texture, and you have the majority of this skin's changes. Not exactly what I'd call creative, nor was the end result really that good. Only thing it had going for itself was the sounds, which made me reconsider how gay angels can be, especially if they sound like psychopathic monsters =_,=
Whilst it wasn't exactly the best of skins, I will give the author credit on the front that he actually made team skins instead of just keeping the reborn twin originals. A lot of people just like to do that

IS.
Basically, it's an all white reborn, cept for the face. Tack a shader on, and bam, done. Creative? No. Looks good? Yeah. Has an odd liquid feel to him. I'll say that much.
Other than the aesthetics, the skin's features haven't changed. DOWNLOAD AT YOUR OWN WILL

covered with lava texturing. The armor seems to be what he called "scaled leather armor." Whether or not that even exists is a wonder to me, but the texture is repetitive, WAY too repetitive at that. Blech.
I think besides the repetitive armor texture, I would have suggested making the mouth_eyes texture a lava texture as well, as I'd think it'd look a lot more impressive if every facial feature had lava on it. Also, I'd definitely work on a shader to make the lava a little more animated if possible. Give it a shot. Something tells me this re-release was bugged by such an attempt, but I'd definitely suggest giving it a try.

detail, but it's there, I can assure you =_o. Most prominent features on this skin are the imperial symbol and the white belt, which blend decently with the skin.
I think the only oddities I noticed with the skin was the weird color of the flesh and the fact that the team skins colors are hard to discern from afar, but other than that, it's a pretty solid skin. Definitely would be cool for an RP character, or just a generic imperial operative or something.

mostly a re-colour. That’s not a bad thing though, as the results here are once again very effective. This time though there has also been some textural changes, with one of Kyle’s arms having a new texture on it that kid of makes it look like some kind of bionic arm…but that’s just what it reminded me of. :P
Like the last time, the effect of the reskin is that it makes Kyle look much more like a hardened mercenary, and to be honest, I think this skin is actually rather scary, what with his dark clothes and what look like black leather pants!
Also included (though I am not sure why) are two other .pk3s that replace the default Jan and Kyle skins with Oni’s custom ones. I’m not sure why you would want to replace the default ones when you can just use the other .pk3s to add the new skins I am not sure. But that feature is there if you need it. :) Another plus is that this skin also has team support, which is always a good feature to include with a skin.
As with all mod’s, there are some things that could be improved upon. Mainly I would like to see some custom sounds for these skins, perhaps something a bit more gruff and ‘mercenary sounding’ than the original sounds. Also, bot and NPC support would be a cool thing to add too. But that is something to work on for the future.
Overall another good skin here from Oni, download it if you like the look of it! :)

of the default Jedi models, decked out in grey and black clothing the name ‘Shadow Jedi’ certainly fits very well! Although this could work well as a ‘Stealth Jedi’ who is on a secret mission or something of the sort, I think it fits the theme of the ‘Grey Jedi’ much better. Grey Jedi are those Jedi who sort of hover between the light side and the dark side, more info can be found at [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Grey_Jedi]this Wookieepedia Article[/url] if you are interested.
To add to the ‘don’t mess with me’ aspects of this skin he also has some cool looking tribal style tattoos on his face which add nicely to the skin. :)
Unfortunately though there isn’t any team support with this skin, which I think would have been a good thing to include. Also, some custom sounds would be cool, but as the author explains he does not yet know how to add them to the file. If you are a fellow skinner and can help the author out with adding custom sounds, I am sure he would like to hear from you!
Overall a good skin here from Chafferz but I think there could be some more things added to it to give it that bit extra polish. Well guys, give it a download if you like the look of it! :)

Here we have a most interesting skin pack brought to us by Ravagerlord. The skins in this pack are re-skins of the excellent Silver Dragon model by Manganiac. As Ravagerlord says in his readme, these skins were originally made for the clan. However as far as I could see, there were no clan references on these skins, so they can be used by anyone! :)
What is interesting about each skin is that it bears the name of a god from ancient mythology, along with an associated colour scheme. For instance, Vulcan was the blacksmith, and god of fire in Roman mythology, hence he has a red and black colour scheme. Then there is Triton who was the son of Poseidon, god of the sea, hence he has a blue and black colour scheme. The Egyptian god Thoth associated with knowledge and such features too, sporting an all gold colour scheme. Then there is the Egyptian god Geb, god of the earth who has a green, brown and gold colour scheme.
Lastly there is Ra, who was the Egyptian sun god. He has a matt black and gold colour scheme, and personally this one is my favourite! There is just something about matt black and gold which always looks fantastic, and it does look very Egyptian too. :D
Unfortunately though there isn’t any team support with these skins, which is a shame, but is understandable considering that it would be quite difficult to make red and blue versions of these skins when the default ones are so unique in their colour schemes already. There are new sounds, sort of a much rougher sounding version of the Desann sounds, but there isn’t any bot or NPC support. A good skin pack here, but I feel a few of these things should be looked at if the author decides to do a v2 of these skins.
All in all a nice skin-pack here, with some very unique colour schemes and references to ancient mythology, I think this is a skin-pack that a lot of people will enjoy. If you guys like the look of the skins here, then give it a download!

their defence I think that they do make a good subject to reskin for a first time skinner because of the wide variety of ways in which they can be modified. Since the skin and model are also pretty simple, it makes it easier for first time skinners to start off their modding career!
Anyway, on with the review!
Since this is the author’s first skin, the changes are pretty simple, but as I always say, simple changes can make a big difference. Personally I think this reborn looks rather more evil than your average reborn. ;) The skin has been darkened and the reds are much stronger and more vibrant, giving him a fiery look. The darkened orange sleeves also add to this fiery effect.
There are some things that could be improved upon however. The main one is that this doesn’t have any team skins. Since this is a first skin I am not that worried about that, but I think that is a good area to work on for next time. :) Also, if possible, new sounds are always a cool thing to add to a custom skin.
All in all not a bad skin here, I hope to see more work from you in the future Ryuukotseiz! Since this is the author’s first skin, don’t forget to leave him some constructive feedback on where he can improve for next time around. And remember, a little encouragement goes a long way! :)

pretty good it seems the developers didn’t give them any improvements texture wise over those in JK2. I could be wrong about this, so if you know otherwise, feel free to correct me!
It just seems as though a fair few of the default skins could do with some improvement, especially texture wise.
Now, although Oni hasn’t actually given Jan ‘new’ textures, he has certainly given her a new coat of paint! And personally I think that the new colour scheme is a nice improvement over the default one. The changes aren’t major, however the overall effect is very noticeable. Gone are the light coloured clothes that she wore before, replaced with a much more ‘mercenary’ looking outfit. The clothing is much darker and the colours have been changed, which as I said above, looks better than the original in my opinion.
The skin also has team support, and the team skins are quite different from the default JKA ones. The colouring is subtler on these, unlike the default Jan team skins where most of her clothes are coloured blue or red. I think the author has done a good job here! Another plus is that the author also included some different sounds for the skin.
As the author said in his readme, he tried to give this skin bot support but it didn’t work for some reason, I am a mapper and not a skinner, so I don’t know what the problem could be. So if any of you guys could help with that, I am sure Oni would appreciate it.:)
All in all then a good reskin here, it is simple but effective and I personally like it more than the default Jan, since this skin has more of a ‘mercenary’ feel to it. If you guys like the look of this, then give it a download! :)

First, the old =_=
[quote]You know, normally I'm totally flat out ecstatic about work that has Tobe in it. This time, however, it's sort of swing and miss on my front..
Of course, this doesn't mean the work is bad. Behold, for it is a human merc reskin to envision a strange new trooper of some sort. The concept itself is interesting, but it sort of lost me. Suffice to say, however, the skinning is excellent, as per usual. Even the skin texture on the previously covered arms looks pretty good. The thing that pretty much lost my favor is the team skins and basically one aspect of the skin. First off, the team skins are pretty much just recolors, which is not usually in Tobe's style, so that was a slight, but not crippling disappointment. The thing that did it for me was the word "Cyber" on the back. "But Averus, it's just a word!" Yes, but it basically ruined the feel of the skin. Usually less skilled skinners do things like this, and I could have thought of several theme appropriate things(Say like" Special Forces Division 100110101 Alpha Squadron, or unit #blah) to put on there other than the word "Cyber."
The weapon was also a little disappointing, mostly in the sound department. Visually speaking, it's great. A great model by Seancsnm. The tag needs some adjusting to make the weapon look like it's facing the right way, but it truly has a cybernetic visual feel to it. However, as I said, the sound department feels really awkward. The activation/deactivation and idle sounds were fine, but the swinging sounds and spin sounds were just too "soft" to feel like you were swinging a weapon. People could argue that these sounds are theme-appropriate, but logic compels me to argue otherwise in the name of user entertainment.
Regardless of what I may have conveyed in the upper paragraphs, I still think you gents did a fine job. I just personally can't say it's awesome because of my clashes with some aspects @_@. For those of you who don't care, BY ALL MEANS, ENGAGE BANDWIDTH TO MAX SPEED
[/quote]
This version seems to have taken a bit of my or someone similar's advice

enough for you? Yes? Right, quit yer yappin' before you even start, so that I may review the skin.
Okay, so. Dante. Many of us are familiar with the character, and those who aren't are probably familiar with graves' Dante model. You're probably also aware that there are many black outfit Dante skins out there. What makes this one stand out is that there's color augmentations on the outfit, and the 'little different' part goes to the patterning on the trenchcoat 'skirt'. It's very feudal Japanese styled, and we rarely see these kinds of patterning used. Granted it's probably from an "anime" or something (trying to avoid soapboxing over the term), but it's a rarely used style nonetheless.
Noticeable bug: the alpha shader for the hair - which was present with the original Dante - has not been reapplied to this skin, unfortunately. Thankfully it doesn't make the skin intolerable to use, but it would've been nice to have.
There's other small details allegedly added, but I can't really spot them. Not saying they're not there, they just don't have a major impact in-game. As far as personal skins go, this one is clichéd but nice all the same.

to justify my unfamiliarity with this skin's theme. I had to do a little research to figure out the theme of this skin(although had I looked on the front of it hard enough, I woulda realized it, as I do recognize that wraith.) Suffice to say, it's depressing to see that the fanchildren of ICP have given themselves a cult name, but I'll digress onward to the skin itself. The clothing is pitch black, save for a couple of the Juggalo symbols on the back and arms. On the front is writing "Juggalo" and a picture of one of ICP's "joker's cards," the Wraith. The hands and face have been slathered with clown paint, the face getting a yellow clown makeup dressing..
From both a subjective and objective point of view, I'm really not impressed. the author could have at least changed some colors up. Not everything has to be totally black. Even a certain necromancer here likes a good brass or gold trimming on his robes =_o.
Well, I've spoken my piece, which may mean nothing to the target audience here. If you want it, get it =_=

own the consoles necessary, anyway.) As such, research was necessary to see what this man Altair looked like.
=_o well, allow me to now state that this is a reborn skin, and whilst the screenshots make it look alright, it all seems to be smoke and mirrors. Looking closely, a lot of this skin's cloth seems to be the tragic result of a photoshop filter. The result looks like some sorta potato sack look, and whilst it would probably be more periodically fitting, over 75% of mankind doesn't care about periodic realism, and thus it doesn't achieve the cloth look necessary to maintain accuracy. In fact O_o it looked like Altair was wearing chainmail greaves for pants.
The accessories naturally feel very fake, and as such harms the quality of the skins' feel, crying out a need for a model. A rather noticeable bug from the front is that the red accessory in the front has a texture misalignment at the waist, and thus takes the quality down another notch.
The face is hard to judge, as not much was really done to it. The facial hair coloration to match up, that's for certain. The moustache was very sloppily done, as it seems unnaturally lopsided.
Overall, whilst the heart was in it, the execution could have been a little better. The skin in its current form seems a bit sloppy, its potential unrealized. Comb back through your skin's content, and see what you could do to possibly remedy the problems presented before you. As I said, there was good intent, but it just didn't cut the cake.
- Averus Retruthan[/quote]Now what has changed, you ask? Well then, I oblige.
Wristbands are changed, the one on the right arm seems a little better having a bit of a wrap-around filter applied. The left arm still reminds me of those weird Pompeii pyschics from [i]Doctor Who[/i], y'know, the ones whose arms were starting to turn to stone.
Apparently the torso is much improved, but I'm not really seeing that. What I see is a photoshop filter applied, made really bright - and inconsistently between textures - with some Altair-ish elements pased over. I'd be lying if I said it looked like Altair's robes in anything other than color scheme....
New pants, which basically means black jeans. Quick Google for a reference image shows that this is not what Altair wore, and jeans probably didn't even exist back then anyway. Just imagine Shakespeare doing product placement for Levis within his plays.... The boots also now look like a cat decided to scratch off the layers of crayon colored over them; they appear to have been sharpened and dissolved to give an effect of degradation.
The team skins, which are new, consist of the same outfit with kinda bright red/blue pants.
As for the face, not very Altair. But neither is the rest of the skin, sorry. I'd be lying my ass off if I tried to point out how this is close to Altair, just Google the images for yourself. It's a reborn, it is what it is; Altair is not a reborn. Trying to skin a character over a model which frankly looks as close to their likeness as I do to Frank Sinatra's, it never works.
And frankly.... I think the last version was better. >_>

acquaintance here now has a new set of black pants with some gold shins. The shirt's color appears to have been darkened and now there is some gold trim and design on it, particularly with a large "W" on the chest. Couple with some odd tribal face paint and a hat matching the shirt's schema, and you've got the basics of this skin. That, and if you include the chrome shader applied to the entire skin.
Honestly, in retrospect, I ask if the chrome shader was necessary. I mean yes, it seems to beautify the skin up slightly, but chrome skin is going a little overboard. Ah well, who cares -_- cough up the bandwidth if ye like it.

recolor, I suppose. Case in point, the chiss model was basically given darker textures, and some slightly changed skin pigment, and bam, clocked into the site.
Honestly, I don't see much good this skin will do, as now the textures are so dark that even on sunlit tatooine maps I can't tell any detail anymore. Not much one could call very "cool" about this chiss. Not even the non-functioning sounds placed haphazardly in there. (Execution was half-right: he had the sounds.cfg and directories matched, but he didn't run the sounds through an audio program to work with JA.)
Overall, bland, uninspired, and saddening. The author is encouraged to next time try and branch out into more creative avenues.

and fire, respectively. Do they look good? Yes, I suppose. Are they creative? Not a bit. All that was done with a recolor of the skin areas, and that's about it. Otherwise, there's nothing worth seeing here.
Furthermore, the skin pack's size was unnecessarily oversized due to sloppy packaging, and including every essence of the Jedi Rodian and Kel Dor male models. Overall? Not worth the space, until the author executes the packaging properly.

desaturated, then had some other filters applied to it. I couldn't tell you the exact ones right now because I can't remember them, but I have done the exact same thing before. The end result is a white clothed cultist with gray skin. There are team skin files included, but they don't seem to work...
It could just be me, but I think it would look a lot better if the skin had been left with it's original color, while the clothes are changed. Perhaps if you also colored in various little parts on the clothes, it could look better... Variety helps.

lot of reskins that have things painted on, this skin actually blends it in well enough ti make it look like it is supposed to be there. The hood, arms, and other small parts have been darkened to the point of it losing all it's detail before the skulls were painted on. That small lack of detail is the only real issue that I spotted, besides it's simplicity. However, it can be overlooked easily by most.
So, not the most creative skin, but still a decent looking one. Sadly, no extras have been included. If another version of this were to come out, I think it would do well to have more done to the skin to separate it from the original jawa skin, and some extras like team support would be nice too.

[quote]Well, this is a skin of the cultist model to be a 'Camo Soldier'. It's basically a cultist with a couple of camouflage textures slapped on him with a monochromatic hood, where the colors change depending on if it's the blue or red team skin.
The biggest thing that could have been done is that the author could have aligned the textures so that they don't look pasted on. He also could have made it look like the model was wearing clothes, instead of just a guy walking around with camouflage skin. The other thing is that the author could have not made the head on the skin monochromatic. I mean, how bad does it look if you have a grey hood and regular eyes looking out? It just looks unnatural. So the biggest thing that the author could have done is do a little research for this skin, and then make it look somewhat real. Now if this wasn't supposed to look good or real, then my apologies.
A note to the author: Do not include the _humanoid folder in your file, it adds unneeded soze to your file, it annoys us, and it will be removed anyways. Oh, and you don't need to include Raven sounds if they're already in the game. Just point your sounds.cfg file to them.
~Zach[/quote]Compared to what we got last time, this version is a vast improvement. We're still a ways off from total realism, but the cartoony aspect is mostly gone in favour of more realistic camo patterning. For cultist reskins, these guys do look rather militaristic. Or should I say they look more like guerrilla insurgents? Cultist outfits aren't exactly US Army standard issue....
Some nice little details have been added in addition to the brand new patterning - yeah, it's all new - such as various belts and bandoliers and small uniform details. The boots have also been improved. Overall a nice addition to anyone's arsenal of skins. And this final update makes certain of that, yes sir it sure does.

depending on whether it's been done before or not. Suppose the colors are the same colors you'd see in the ocean, at any rate.
So, whatta we got? Jawa. Blended blue/green colorizations, likely gradient effect but that's a rough guess. Despite the random mixing of blue and green, this jawa doesn't actually look that bad. It's definitely passable and I know it'll appeal to the jawa collectors out there. Should appeal to those who want something a little different, too, and aren't bothered about high-standard artwork.
Custom sounds have been included, NPC and bot profiles have not. Nor have team colors.

Good, the design and style are spot on as they should be. Accuracy points! The colorations are mostly faithful, too. Custom sounds are always a winner. Plus there's the uniqueness aspect - don't think anyone's really tried this before.
Bad, well. There's elements of Kyle sticking through. The belt, the neck brace, the shoulder pad. These detract from the illusion, and maybe Kyle just wasn't the best model to use. The skin itself isn't really all that detailed, I'm hesitant to say paintbucketing, but it's not far off. The actual positioning of some texture elements is a little too clean-cut - ruffle 'im up a bit! :p
To cut the story short, it's a decent start. More work could be done on it, though, so y'all be sure to leave feedback.

just ran the stormtrooper skins through a photoshop filter(the team skins receiving some color treatment, probably the most effort needed,) and called it a day, rather than actually making them the black and gold schema that was mentioned in his readme. I also dislike the fact that he was even lazier with his icons, and ran THEM through a different filter, and called it a day. Granted, I've been guilty of doing that with some of my previous personal skins in the past, but putting it out into the public view was just enough to expose the laziness in this skin.

pimp machine from the Iron Man comics that can allegedly control electrical energies. What we got is a giant paintbucket red swamptrooper with straight lines down the extremities and a black bar over the eye visors. All paint, no effort.
Worse yet, I don't even think it looks remotely like anything like the Crimson Dynamo pics I'm seeing here, even in the old comics. Seriously, this was just...*sighs* revolting. You've sent it bad stuff before, but this one sadly takes the proverbial cake, IM -_-

it\'s good. up close, the new parts look smeared and sloppy. It could have been blended a lot better than what I see on the skin. The overall design is obviously ninja, but the more modern idea of a ninja rather than the practical style. There\'s too much skin exposed for a ninja\'s stealthy needs, if you ask me. Team skins changes the black clothing to the color of the respective team. No other extras have been included with it, which was a bit disappointing, but nothing that I didn\'t expect.
This skin could really use some work to get the pieces to blend together better. Other than that, I think this skin is kinda cool, especially since it is a female ninja, something you don\'t see too horribly often. Give it a download if you like it.

Luke with his clothes paintbucketed black and his head, neck, and hands paintbucketed blue. Team skins simply paintbucket the clothes either red or blue. There's also a NPC file for it, but nothing else.
Honestly, this needs work. It needs some real skinning. Paintbucketing never cuts it. At the very least, a better model could have been chosen....

weapon.
So, on the surface, it looks like a whitened Imperial Officer uniform, yes? Well, let me point out the 'glossy' shader that Apollyon mentions in the readme. Glossy is so the wrong word. It's much more like silk. Really, 'tis. And it doesn't look overdone to the point of spoiling the skin's appeal. Again, subtlety, which is considerably trickier to achieve with shaders, actually - finding the right balance isn't as easy as it sounds, you don't want the shader to be too heavy, but at the same time you don't want it to be not heavy enough. Madness! But yeah, as simple as the actual reskin itself is, the silk effect - very accurate, by the way, just the right amount of shine applied by the shader - makes it much more appealing than the default Raven skins created for the Imperial model.
Aside from the shader and the whiteness, there's not much else to the skin itself. Which is okay, I get the feeling there wasn't meant to be that much to it in the first place, so that it could be more useful for general purpose means. It does, however, have full support for bot, NPCs, and teams (which uses the default skins since they're basically red/blue versions of this anyway). Sadly Apollyon didn't apply the same silky shader to the Imperial model's default skins, would've been a nice upgrade to round it off. ;)
It's very very simple, and naturally the skin itself is really only as good as Raven's base textures for this particular model. The shader bakes the cake, though. Normally I'd say the shader does not make the skin, but in this case I'll make an exception because it is a very nice shader.

felt that there could be some improvements. Now, building upon last time, he brings us v2 of his Eclipse skin, with some major additions!
Lets start with the main skin first of all. This time around the skin features a shader, which makes it shiny. You have to be careful with shiny skins, because if you do them well, they look great. But if you don’t do them just right, they don’t always look particularly good. However I feel that in this instance, the shiny effect on the skin is well done and I like how it looks. Added to the chest of the skin is a small picture of the moon eclipsing the sun, which fits very nicely with the theme of the skin.
This time around we also have team skins, but not your usual red and blue re-colours mind you. Once again, both skins are shiny, which again does look effective. The red team skin is gold, with what looks to be a setting (or rising) sun on the back of the skin. The blue team skin is a striking purple colour, this time with the crescent of the moon on the back of the skin, again fitting in well with the sun / moon eclipse theme. All in all both the team skins and the default skin look great! :)
There are still a few things that could be improved upon however. Like last time one of my concerns is that the skins don’t contain any custom sounds. The default saboteur sounds seem to have been changed to one of the Jedi trainer sounds, but it still would be cool if there were some new custom sounds in there. Not necessarily voice sounds, but perhaps just ‘celestial’ type sounds, like choir voices, a twinkle, the kind of things that are usually associated with space, planets, the heavens and such.
Another thing that would be good to include is bot support, but that isn’t anything major, since a lot of custom skins do not come with that.
All in all though a very nice set of skins here, improved quite a lot from last time around. So if you guys like the look of this skin, then give it a download! :)

technically a new release, more a re-release of a file long since lost. Back in those days, software and techniques used for modding were less developed than today. So it's a little cartoony. Does it hurt the quality? No, because in JA you're not going to have hi-res pixel shader bollocks making everything look like it just stepped out of a BBC-HD show displayed on a 65" LCD TV.
In the skin's credit, it does look [b]very[/b] different from the base, the Kyle model. A whole new face, a whole new outfit, completely new. All that remains is Kyle's old belt. That's a feat for any texture artist. So, bonus points for effort and technique there. Pulling up some US Navy Pilot uniform screenshots, I can't help but commend the accuracy of each different skin; they're almost like-for-like representations of the real deal. Just look and thou shall see.
Few negatives, I get the feeling the textures could've been a little higher-res. They're about halfway between PS1 and PS2 quality, which isn't bad, but it's not the best it could have been. It should be recognised that compromises do have to be made, however, and perfection should not be chased as it's an impossible goal. The fact Kyle's original belt remains is a bit of a downer, but it's negligible.
Overall not much to complain about, and for those military fans out there this'll do wonders. Anyone else wanting some quality modern-era real world skins would do well to pay attention too.

The changes are only small, and fairly subtle, for example the change of colours and the style of shirt from the original Base JKA Chiss bartender skin.
Now, rather than looking like the fellow who is behind the bar, he looks like the fellow slumped over it, stone drunk! The face most of all has been given quite a make over. The changes may only be simple, but they are very effective. The skin most certainly looks like a space pirate, and personally, it also reminds me of the bad guys out of the old American Westerns! Complete with a scar on his face and a handlebar moustache. ;)
As with Siyorn’s last skin, I feel that this could also do with some custom sounds, perhaps something like the “I have the death sentence on twelve systems” as said by [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Evazan] Dr. Evazan[/url].

bot and NPC support and has made it so the skin does not replace the Base JKA Jedi Trainer skin.
Personally I really like this skin, I think the face has been very well done and the subtle change of the style of his clothing makes quite a difference too.
Personally he reminds me or Genghis Kahn, or another Mongol warlord. Perhaps even an Arab warrior from the 12th Century! All in all then a good skin here and the new improvements the author has made to it, make it even better!
Personally though I still think it could do with some new sounds, perhaps more menacing or growly since he looks rather a rough chap! ;)

have been turned black. The entire head has been turned green for some reason, black marks have been added to the face, and the lips have been turned green. Finally, the eyes have been changed to look like light blue eyes with white pupils.
Included are some extra skins: a robed version, a hooded version, a hooded version with a solid black face (Except for the eyes), and a hologram-styled one.
Honestly, while more could be done to it to make it more original, this isn't a bad reskin. Everything was done fairly well, and I really can't find any complaints besides the fact that a green head like that just seems a bit odd to me... I Have to admit that I do like the extra skins included, too, but was a bit disappointed over the lack of team skins. I can get over that, though. :p

Styyy.......x. No, there is no x =_o.
To sum it up in a nutshell, you're given a Dante reskin (Nero skin) recolored black and white. Slap a quick texture over half the face, forget to tweak the shader, and voila, the ending product.
Effort-wise, it was weak. Quality-wise, I guess it looks fine. I think at the very least, the shaders could have been tweaked to match the needed content, but I guess as long as the author's happy, who cares?

So what's new? Well, there's team and npc support. Team skins simply take everything but the head and skin on the normal arm, and turn them red or blue, depending on the team. Not the most original style of team skins, but at least it's obvious what team is what...

don't know if it was really that simple or not, but the end effect is just that. What's worse is that the right hand and eyes are untextured due to an error in the .skin file.

like it could be the same person, really. Both wear the same general outfit with small changes, such as the coat and boots being all black, while the rest is a darker brown/tan color. Team skins change the brown/tan to either red or blue, depending on the team chosen. I can't really find any serious flaws with the clothing besides the fact that it seems a bit plain.
The head is pretty good looking, if you ask me. Bald headed, but with a little bit of facial hair. The only real issues I have found here are that there are some pretty obvious seams around here the jaw meets the neck, and a couple of odd spots on the ears, but nothing noticable, really.
All in all, I'd have to say this is a pretty good file. Not the absolute best out there, but still worth checking out. Give it a download!

slight blue hint here and there, and his skin is jet-black.
Now before any of you start complaining ‘oh he has just inverted the colours that’s all’ let me say that that isn’t actually true. The colours have been changed more substantially than that. I tried inverting the textures for the saboteur skin, and you don’t get anything like these colours. So obviously the author has put quite a bit of work into getting the right colour combination here.
As he explains in his readme, the reason for the colouring is so that the skin has the colour theme of an eclipse.
This obviously explains the black skin, and also it does go well with the white clothes, since during an eclipse you will notice that the Sun’s corona shines around the edge of the moon in a bright white light. You can see what I mean if you look at the screenshot the author included below. The black face is like the darkened moon, and the white clothes are like the Sun’s corona. I think this was a very clever idea! :)
Personally I like this colour theme, the white and blue hints go especially well together, and the black skin provides a sharp contrast.
I must say though, that I find the jet-black skin to be a little creepy. :P That’s probably because you cant actually make out any of the features on his face, since head on his face just looks completely flat black (with the exception of his eyes of course!).
There are a few things I think could be improved upon. Although the white and black colour scheme does in fact represent the kind of colour theme from an eclipse (white corona around the black disk of the moon) some people may find the choice of names confusing. Usually when something is called ‘Eclipse’, for example the Super Star Destroyer Eclipse from the expanded universe, the object is more often than not completely black. This seems to be because the word ‘Eclipse’ seems to go well with the idea of stealthiness or darkness. Because of this some people might feel the colour scheme isn’t right for this kind of skin.
Personally, though I think the it was appropriate to include the white, I think the white with the blue hints to it would lend itself more to a skin with an ice or snow theme to it.
Also, there doesn’t seem to be team support with this skin. I think its always important to include team support with your skin, since, although people may not use the team skins that often, its always good to give people the choice.
All in all though, a decent skin here, so good work Toxious. Keep up with the skinning because I would like to see more files from you! :)

all a clown skin based on the Jedi model. The legs and feet look to be pretty much the same as whatever base jedi skin they were prolly taken from. The shirt has been changed to a blurry red and white striped shirt with some odd looking yellow suspenders. The head has pretty much been paintbucketed white and had the clown makeup painted on. It looks as if the edges of the makeup have been blurred to attempt to blend a little more, but honestly, it needs more than that done to it. The hair is the best part of the head, if you ask me. It actually looks something like hair, though bright orange to keep with the clown style. All in all, the skin isn't the worst I have seen by far, but it still could use a lot of work.
That's pretty much that.extras have been included... And here I was looking forward to seeing how creative the author could get with team skins... XD

two of them in a odd shuriken-esque shape, and some macabre touches to the face, packaged together with Marka Ragnos sounds.
I'm just going to be blunt: I'm not impressed. The skin I'm seeing here and the alleged character presented in the readme just clashes. This guy is supposed to be a guy who murders anyone he lays eyes on? That's all well and good, but wouldn't he be like..practically [i]DRENCHED[/i] in blood, at this point? I mean, he looks old enough to have killed enough people, and you did say he never washed his clothes >_> Secondly, did this guy just basically make people bleed to death with paper cuts or something? The blood spats here are tiny and have no real rhyme or reason. How in the world did he get blood on his back? I can think of a few theories as to why but most would end up having to digress to that whole drenched factor...
One final factor to mention that I would suggest taking into consideration: dry that blood up. The blood spats that you have on him are way too fresh, and seeing as doing laundry is an irrelevant subject to him, that blood has to dry up sometime. Look up examples of dried blood

very good reskin of Desann!
Desann seems to be quite a difficult character to reskin, because the model is so distinctive. A normal Jedi skin you can do pretty much anything with, because the model is quite simple and lends itself well to re-skinning. Desann however is this giant lizard guy, and there are only so many things you can change a giant lizard guy into.
However I must say that Exodus_1161 has done an excellent job here. He has really changed the way the skin feels. And I must say, this skin does look rather a lot scarier than Desann himself! I like that though, it kinda fits the theme of the ‘grey Jedi’ that this fellow is supposed to be.
And what is more, there are actually two skins in this pack, both with team support. There is a robed version, and then one with a more armoured appearance. The characters skin has been turned blue, and the clothing has been made grey, but there are still hints of colour in the trim and belt, so the skin hasn’t simply been de-saturated, it’s been done properly.
I must say, the combination of the blue skin and grey clothes actually works superbly, and really gives this reskin the ‘grey Jedi’ feeling. The face and head, in particular has been done very well I feel.
Oh and by the way, incase anyone doesn’t know what a ‘grey Jedi’ is, check out the [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Grey_Jedi] Wookieepedia entry [/url], it explains all about them.
I didn’t find any bugs during testing, so well done there mate. :) A cleanly made and bug free mod is always more enjoyable to use I think. Also on the plus side, these skins have team and bot support too. The team skins are well done as well, the colouring for the red and blue skins doesn’t scream out at you, it is subtle and well done, and yet it is still easy to tell the difference between them.
All in all an excellent reskin of the Desann model here, one I shall be keeping in my base folder! :thumbsup:

have black armor, with various things slapped on the body. You\'d think that the lack of blending would lower the quality, but to be honest, they are placed in such a way that makes them look good anyway. The flames on the backs of the knees seemed a bit pointless, but everything else was pretty cool, actually. I would describe to you what has been slapped on, but the screenies or a download could tell you that. :p If you ask me, the best part about this skin, though, is the shader. The shader adds a pulsing glow to the skin which looks pretty cool, but just a bit too bright for such a dark skin.

This skin carries typical 'Sith' traits, you know, grayscale clothes and a scarred head. This one also lacks hair.

have, never will.
What does my opinion have to do with the skin? Absolutely nothing. Score one for chaotic nonsense =_,= moving on, this is a reskin of the anakin skywalker model (what a surprise) that converts mr. hair into a cyan hue and mr. tunic into a white/black schema with some rather clashing blue pants. Yeah, they sorta stick out if you look at them critically...this coming from a guy who ate the definition of \"fashion\" in his dictionary and converted it into useless byproducts. =_=
There are three versions that would be expected, no robe, robe, and hooded robe. Typical, necessary, and alright. The robe could have used a little more definitive texture, however. The robe feels like a void black, and while the designs are well planted and done, there was a lack of reality to them, particularly in the robed version. The hood was barely visible, and therefore, it looked like the JK symbol was abruptly cut in half.
Other than the fact that he sounds like a total nancy boy(the skin uses what I think it the Episode II soundset of Anakin, but I can\'t be totally sure since it\'s been a while since I haven\'t seen a Star Wars movie,) this skin is alright. It\'s a little showy for my tastes, but perhaps the masses here can find it to be within their interests to submit bandwidth and scream at it =_=.

originally named 'Chistori', but sometime in 2005 it was decided to give that name to Desann's species instead. Gotta love retcons.)
Moving on before I spawn a lecture on amatuer eugenics, we're all aware Desann got a big pile of rocks thrown on him - if only he were sitting on a donkey at the time, so we could say he got stoned off his [i]anyway moving quickly on[/i] there's always been debate on whether or not Desann died. Let's say he did, and he went straight to Hell. Purgatory. Hades. Tartarus. FileFront HQ. It's the same thing, whatever you want to call it.
InubisPL presents us with this image of what Desann would look like as the master of Hell, all souped-up with that dead guy energy stuff. For a dead guy, he's lookin' pretty good. Decomposition is for nubs. So, that's the premise behind this.
As for the skin, though, it's relatively simple. Not to say it looks bad, but it strikes me more as the difference between Tavion and Possessed Tavion, than Desann and Master Of Hell Desann.
First change. Desann's face has been grayscaled. Second change, his clothing has been grayscaled. Third change, his armor has been changed to a vivid firey orange. Hands, neck and eyes appear to have been left alone. Now, don't get me wrong, I like the orange armor. I just think the rest of 'im looks.... plain. It does kinda look like he's wearing a space-age tracksuit underneath that breastplate, though. Heh.
Plenty of extras included, which increases the fun. Two NPCs, ally and enemy. Two other NPCs as 'Master Desann's' slaves. Can't say they're particularly hard to beat up, but I guess they do their jobs well enough. Two new sabers reusing the Retribution and Stinger hilts, although it would've been easier to just add the originals to the menu. And, of course, the sounds.
Overall nothing particularly special, but for such a simple product, it does look good in-game. Plus the author went in and added extras most people don't really think of, which is a plus point. I wouldn't mind seeing a little more creativity and technique from InubisPL in the future, though.

a second skin made by Mean_Obiwan, the first one having been reviewed a short time ago by Averus [file="89708"]here [/file]. This skin however is of Indy from the Cairo chase scene from Raiders, y’know the one where Marion is being carried off in a basket. Basically this means that Indy has no jacket, and has some cuts and scuffs to his face.
There is one problem with this though, the jacket is part of the character model, so the shirt has had to be textured [i]over[/i] the jacket. Personally I think the re-texturing job on the jacket is pretty good. Without looking closely you cant really tell that its skinned over the jacket, so well done to the author there! :)
However, once you look more closely, you can see that Indy’s forearms are textured on top of the jacket, which doesn’t look quite right, and that there are lumps and bumps on the shirt where there wouldn’t be if the jacket was actually taken off of the model.
One big plus side though is that this file has team skins too, however they aren’t just blue and red re-colours. The red team skin looks more like the Indy from Temple of Doom, with the ripped off shirt sleeves, and the blue team skin has a more beat up version of the jacket on.
All in all though I think this is a pretty good skin, though I do think there could be some improvements made here and there. Unfortunately of course, because the jacket is part of the character model, that rather limits the opportunities for re-skinning this model. One other thing I think could be added to the skin is some new sounds, perhaps a few sound bites from the Indy films for a new taunt and damage sounds.
This and the other Indy skin by this author are well timed for the release of the new Indiana Jones film though, so if you’re an Indy fan (like me :P) or just like the look of this skin, give it a download!

more of a recolor than a reskin. This one changes uses the textures of the Rebornboss, but they have been dyed yellow. Nothing else new there. Included is a cool shader that makes you glow and pulse, like I have seen on some other pretty cool shaders but still something that was nice to see. Blue and red teams are the same as the default Rebornboss ones as far as I could tell except for one small thing: They have mustaches instead of goatees.
Honestly, I think the skin isn't all that great, but the shader to it makes it look pretty cool. Give it a download if you like the way it looks in the screenies!

sith-like guy, you know the story. It looks sort of like a cross between Jason Voorhees and a knight. You've got your mandatory nearly black clothing (although this has a slight red tinge to it) and then you have the cuirass. The cuirass is nearly my favorite part of it, it just looks that good. Although one thing I noticed is that the highlights are too sharp. One would be better keeping the textured highlights soft and wide, let the specular shader handle the real highlights. Nevertheless, it doesn't look bad. My favorite part, however, is the mask. It looks awesome, it's well done, my only quip with it is that the mouthpiece really shouldn't move. Nothing one could do about that, though. There's also an unmasked version, which somehow reminds me of a zombie with a bone mask. It's all scratched and bloody and whatnot.
You also get the nifty little extras, like bot support and sounds. Oh, the sounds. No offense, but they sound like something out of the fifth Might & Magic game. Very mid-nineties. The death sounds are a gurgle of sorts, the falling sound sounds like a heavily distorted chant of some sort, as does the taunt (I can't exactly imagine taunting someone by chanting "oooooooooommmmmmmm" but maybe that's just me). The pain sounds are just grunts.
Oh well, you might get a kick out of this. I for one would suggest downloading it. Looks kinda cool.

reflective, but dark, and makes it look as if a light is constantly passing by it. The blue team skin is the same as the default skin, and the red team skin is the same as the others, but simply red instead of blue. There are also new sounds, but they are just some of the sounds from the game slowed down to make the voice sound deeper. The only problem with that, in my eyes, is that the voice is too low and big sounding for a character that small.
Honestly, if you were to ask me, the shader is what makes this file interesting. Everything else is pretty average. Of course, that is not at all a bad thing. It could be far worse.
But you guys should judge it for yourselves. Give it a download if you're interested!

few differences. However, it comes off as a very simple sophisticated look.
Included with this skin are two renderings of the Stinger(reborn) hilt. One variant has the blade held backhand style, whilst another is a composite staff saber, and looks very impressive. Other than the the story in the readme, there\'s not much else to say. It\'s a winner in my book just because of its simplistic grace and gratuitous extras that show that the author really went the distance to craft their concept. Granted, the stinger hilt may be considered an unoriginal design on their part, but I can see why the author would choose to do such a simple and graceful hilt.

about them. But it looks like what it takes to turn a snowtrooper into a darktrooper is giving some parts of his armor yellow trimming (such as the cuirass and codpiece), darken and increase the contrast of some other parts (such as the pants), some paint on some more parts (again, the cuirass) and a new cape, one of distorted chrome and red trimming. And some blood spattered all over it for good measure. Doesn\'t look much like blood, though. Too bright. Anyway, there\'s also an image of a red tic-tac-toe field scrolling over the entire model. All in all, well, it\'s not all that impressive. If you find it striking a fancy in you, however, give it a whirl.

Secondly, if the only requirement the file has is the game, some disk space and a person capable of using their appendages, please don\'t write anything in the \'requirements\' tab.

skin looks as if he had just gotten out of a radioactive lava swimming pool. He looks orange, but has a glow that pulses on and off... It actually looks pretty cool, if you ask me. The blue team skin is simply a white version of the default skin. The quality is the same in terms of skinning for all three of the skins, though...
There are also new sounds, but honest, I couldn't figure out if they were serious about that or not...
To be completely honest, this isn't the best thing I have ever seen in terms of skinning, but to be honest, you'll likely not even notice the skinning because of the shaders. I'd suggest a download, to view the cool shader at the very least. :p

default, and corresponding colors for the team skins.
I guess the shader is the main mantel piece here, because without it, the skin would just present your average all black new reborn. Odd thing is, the shader sort of distorts the skin itself, and makes it seem very overly dark, for the most part. I tested it in Tatooine City with some respectable lighting, and I could barely make anything out. The only dominating trait remains the shader. That, and the rather malevolent sounding lower pitch of the New Reborn =_,=.
Other than that, I guess there's not much to say. It's quite a nice little piece of handiwork, just a bit dark to see much. Even the shader was a bit dark. Well, in the back, perhaps. The front was fine. Only other noteworthy bug would be the absence of the inner lining of the hat's cloth piece that seems to be a problem for most reborn skinners.

Basic laydown: Pitch black shirt with german sensation Rammstein logos and "rosh" plastered onto the shirt, black pants with some small faded effect, and evil shoes whose design evades me. Oh, and let's not forget the small goatee just under his lower lip.
Overall, it looks fairly decent. I wouldn't personally adorn myself in it, but it actually makes Rosh look halfway presentable, as opposed to his tacky original attire. Supply your bandwidth to me, should you find yourself in a need for something entertaining =_o.

kind of pattern slapped on. The face, when looking at it up close, looks like someone scribbled all over the face after spilling various substances on it first. From a distance, though, the effect actually looks kinds cool to me, reminds me of something I would see in a Sith-themed skin.

Anyway, there really aren\'t any more huge changes, just come color changing here and there. Honestly, I think it could use some work. I\'d suggest thinking about the way that chain pants would sit on someone and try to put the texture on that way, and darken some areas to create shadows. And, perhaps, being a bit cleaner when changing things around, the skin is quite messy...

There are random markings all over most of the skin, a leopard type of pattern applied to the torso, a some parts desaturated, then possibly had a filter or two thrown on it. I\'m not even going to get into the team skins... There is pretty much no skill in what has been made, it looks more like someone tested out different things in their first time with a decent graphics program, then decided to submit the result. That being said, at least you know there is nowhere to go but up for this one.
Try making things a bit less random, and clean the whole thing up a bit. I imagine that even if it weren\'t less random, but cleaner looking, it would prolly get a lot more downloads...

onto a model, the Bespin Cop in this case, I believe. Unlike normal ones, though, this one actually has some decent shading to the textures, making it look as if the person is actually wearing camouflage!

had with the way it was done are that the seams a bit obvious for my tastes (But I suppose you get that with regular camo clothes, don\'t you?), and they lacked the proper shading to make it look as if they are actually clothes on a person\'s body.

the great big downfall of its costume is that as a droid, it couldn't get a competent look at a pumpkin. It's been pretty much paintbucketed, with some green and darker lines which, I'd assume, are meant to make it look more like an actual pumpkin. Sadly, no dice. It doesn't look much like what it strives to be. Instead, it looks like a droid trying to cosplay as a vegetable. The lines on a pumpkin aren't a solid color, they're shadows created by the light interacting with the grooves on its surface. As such, they have some color variation, they don't start and end at the drop of a hat. Mandinga, this is your unicorn, this is what drags it all down. I can only suggest some light and shadow theory, references and lots of practice. Oh, by the way, it replaces the base interrogator.

made of mercury (or some other gooey monochrome-colored substance). For the most part it produces an interesting effect, but the lack of a shader lets this down a little. For a future version, I\'d add an envmap shader, and some... type... of... shader... that would adjust the texture in a fluid manner when rendered in-game. I know there\'s a word for that, it just isn\'t springing to mind right now. =/
On the plus side, extras have been included in the form of bot and NPC profiles, and this will not overwrite the base Jedi textures, which is good. This is a good try and something \"fresh\", and while it is an interesting - and decent - result, there are just a few things lacking, mainly shaders to give a metallic and fluid effect. Add those to complete the illusion, and you got a winning formula for something unique.

elements of Native American culture in here, and \"indian\" is the last thing I think of. Except for the fact the red smudges look like that tandoori I had last week, which was more like vindaloo. Aye, but \'twas yummy.
I think I can summarise this skin in one sentence, actually, even without proper sentence structure. Stormtrooper, dirt marks, red squiggles. See? Simple. However, this is where we have an enigma. The dirt marks and smudging is all competently done, lightly brushed on, random but not so random as to not make sense, and blended for normalisation. But then we have the red. Plastered on, with no reason nor rhyme, no attempts at blending of any sort and a complete disregard for where parts of the mesh appear [i]over[/i] the torso textures such as the thing on the back of the belt, or the parts in the box on Mr Stormtrooper\'s back (still don\'t know what the heck those are for) resulting in inconsistent texture placement.
Puzzling puzzle, no doubt. But regardless, the red squiggling kind of lets this skin down. And even without those, it doesn\'t come close to portraying a Native American theme. Sorry, just doesn\'t. But for a worn and dirty stormtrooper armor, this would be pretty good without all the MS Paint red.
On the plus side, though, only the modified textures are in the pk3, cutting down on unnecessarily wasted filesize. That does mean, however, that you have an overwrite of the default stormtrooper.

we all love (but are probably getting bored with). The shadowtrooper is also popular for reskins and recolors. This skin changes the shadowtrooper from being a dark grey to being white. However it was done the easy way instead of the right way (a simple CTRL + I in photoshop -- color inversion, for those of you who aren't familiar with it). It kind of works, although the black-becoming-white and white-becoming-black makes the hilighting of the skin look fairly unnatural. It probably would have worked out better had the skin been brightened and contrasted appropriately rather than just having been inverted. Not a bad idea here, but with some work and practice with the author's software I'm thinking something a lot nicer, cleaner, and more realistic could be produced. Maybe we'll get lucky and the author will try it! :D
~Inyri

not mind. But all that matters not, for the reason that we have gathered here today is that this Maniac has given unto us a reskin of Luke. Luke hath become a pimpster, apparently. Whatever that means.
So, Luke\'s new outfit. Well, take good ole Luke, invert his shirt and skirt, slap some logos and the words \'zoo york\' all over it, bucket his forehead and the top of his hair gray and he\'s a pimpster.
To be honest, I know not what to think of it. Tis a simple one, for sure, and it looks... well, like a 10 minute job. But Maniac doth admit that he isn\'t all that good when it comes to skinning. My advice, references and practice. And a good program, such as the Gimp. You have the whole of the internet before ye, Google\'s image search still works, there\'s nothing short of lazyness to stop you from improving.

desaturation, but bad because it still doesn't look very good. That's not because the texture didn't come out funky, the colorations applied quite well. What worries me is the contrast. Rather than blend in with the game, this sticks out like a sore thumb wearing a neon headband and with halogen headlights mounted to it's shoulders. Okay, I'm exaggerating. But, the contrasts between this and the rest of the game, is kinda high.
My biggest tip to the author, is to not just throw a layer over the texture and be done with it. Take a little time, tailor your effects to each different part of the texture, preferably do a little reworking on the texture itself. The more work you put in, the better the results you'll get. Maybe this does look slightly better than desaturation, yeah, but uniform gradients and grayscaling aren't much better than desaturation for producing these kinds of skins. Sorry if that's harsh, but hey, I'm not gonna lie to you.
Post WIP shots on the forums, there you'll get advanced tips from people with more texturing experience and more Photoshop experience in general. Self-teaching doesn't always work out, and learn-by-doing is only partially effective - you need feedback from others, and if you genuinely want to be a skinner, then learning texture creation and modification is something you'll need help with. We're here to help, you just have to ask.
Quick-and-easy methods may be just that, but they also produce lesser results than the more complex, time-consuming processes. The best tip I can give you is to slow down, take your time, and do things the hard way. Yes, it'll take longer, yes, it'll be more difficult, but it will be worth it in the end.
Well, if you like the looks of this, you know where the link is. Whites, blacks and greys will be someone's style and they'll get something out of this, at least. someslyguy, I hope to see more work from you in the future, and hopefully you'll also take the lessons on board - no pain no gain, and no ask no get. Pushing yourself, working hard, practicing lots, and asking for plenty of feedback via "Work In Progress" threads are the keys to success, so make sure to do plenty.

himself. So basically the reborn has been colored blue, to match Ragnos' ghastly appearance at the end of Jedi Academy's single-player campaign, and part of Ragnos' face has been pasted on. Now I'll admit that i think the skin would look a lot better if it looked more like it was Ragnos instead of some guy who ripped Ragnos' face of and was wearing it at a mask, but that's potentially something to think of for the future. Until then if you think it looks interesting give it a download. No team support or extras, and it doesn't even use the Ragnos soundset which is kind of a bummer.
~Inyri[/quote]And now you're wondering, with that done, what am *I* going to write about? Why, the new stuff of course!
The mask has been modified. It now looks a lot more like a mask, albeit the latex kind. Makes him look like he's going to fancy dress speed dating, in a way. Okay, maybe not.
Team colors have been added, with the gauntlets and boots becoming cyan on blue, and having a not-so-visually-pleasing red plastered over them for the red team. Really. That red doesn't look good at all, and hardly keeps the integrity of the textures. I can't tell off the bat what method you used, but it [i]looks[/i] like you made a red layer over where you wanted the red and set it to 'Color Burn'. Quite icky, I must say.
You'll notice the little chains straight off. Minor detail, but a nice detail nevertheless. Included as a bonus is an 'alternate' version which has the Sith equivalent of a WWE Championship belt around it's waist. Only he's wearing it backwards. Nitpicks, nitpicks.
Not a bad upgrade if you liked the prior version. Just needs a little work on that red teamcolor.

are more than powerful enough to wipe you out without you ever having a chance of winning - the saber-wielding Jawas in particular, defeated Desann effortlessly.
As far as I can tell - judging from the fact the reskin is supposed to be "savage looking" - the red spraypaint stuff is intended to be blood, but obviously it didn't turn out that way. That's okay, though, blood is a real bitch to get right. As a spraypaint effect it doesn't quite look bad, if that's any consolation. Otherwise, it's just the same old Jawa.
Now, onto the NPCs. They'll kick your arse seven ways south of Amsterdam. They have force powers and they know how to use them, they have enhanced regen like all NPCs, godlike reflexes compared to you, and obviously there's the hit detection hax that the AI uses since if it were on equal terms, the NPCs wouldn't be able to hit the flight deck of an aircraft carrier that they were standing on. The Jawas are beatable, just tough. Pretty much Desann with a wider range of tricks up their sleeves.
So, if you want some Jawas to deathmatch with, have at it.

Imagine Rosh. Now, imagine opening the model_default textures for Rosh in Photoshop. Imagine pressing CTRL+SHIFT+N to create a new layer. Imagine clicking paintbucket and just covering the whole layer with white, then whacking CTRL+S. Now picture a random red swirl painted on in a few places with the 13px circular soft brush.

Extras? Just default Rosh stuff, so.... no, not really.
By the way, just as an FYI, if your mods use base assets that you haven't modified, you don't need to include them in your pk3. Only modified and/or user-created assets need to be packaged. Just a tip, of course, but keeping out unnecessary files does make your submissions smaller and your pk3s much tidier.

typical first skin. My criticisms are thus.
At first glance I didn't notice anything particularly appealing about it in the visuals department, the textures are harsh on the eyes, rough and probably sharpened far more than they need to be. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason to how the textures are distributed, which is a fundamental flaw in any skinning project. The details randomly scrawled over the texture are done in a... "primitive" manner that could stand to use a lot of improvement. Overall there just doesn't seem to be any thematical importance to any of it. If there is, then I can't see it.
I understand that it's meant to be based on a customised action figure, but since I can't see that, I can't really judge on accuracy, only skinning techniques.
My basic criticisms are listed above, and I'd advise contemplating those as a list of things to consider on a future skin. To be brutally honest, this didn't really amuse me nor does it strike me as appealing aesthetically or technically. Maybe it'll be different for someone else, who knows.
Still, don't be discouraged. We all have to start somewhere, and looking back on how I started, I feel it would be hypocritical of me to slam you for this being your first try. Basic tips:
1) Check tutorials.
2) Find inspiration.
3) Plan out where your project is going before you start.
4) Practice lots.
5) Post plenty of work-in-progress materials on the forums and ask for feedback.
For a first skin... Well, I've seen better. Seen worse, too. While I wouldn't call this art, I also wouldn't call it crap, for the simple reason that it works, and presumably it looks like what it's supposed to look like.
So, hey, if ya feel like giving it a download, go right ahead. Just be sure to leave some feedback, tips and hints for Mean_obiwan (aka tinnamue2 - there seems to be a little confusion in our developer database). The newbie of today is the artist of tomorrow... or something along that line of thought, anyway.

for a "non-effort" file.[/quote]I felt the need to quote the user's submitted description, if for no other reason than to point out you should definitely [i]not[/i] say something like that to anyone if you're going to submit a skin for download. Typically if you can say "I put basically no effort in this" you shouldn't be submitting it for public download.
In any case, now that I've given my pearls of wisdom to everyone, let's get down to business on this skin. It's a reborn skin, and it overwrites the default reborn. The biggest differences here, as the author said himself, is that it's a different color. And it's much darker. The face is almost pitch black, and the clothes have been darkened. The hood is now red. Now I hesitate to call this an [i]improvement[/i] on the original reborn, because such a statement is entirely subjective (which is why I advise people against making such claims). It's not [i]bad[/i], although I would agree that not a ton of effort was put in. Even so some people may find it suits them better -- after all, a huge number of people believe making something black and red makes it evil. A shame, really, because it's a great color combination...

Reborn new -- completely void of any color except for the flesh areas -- with maybe a subtle plastic wrap filter over it. Looked a little boring to me so I thought I should take a look in-game. Lo and behold, it has a shader over it. Some kind of yellow dot that is getting scrolled over the thing (believe me, it looks a lot better than I just made it sound). Even over the face/eyes, which I thought was a little weird. But in any case, it looks pretty neat. The skin also has what sounds like some deepened reborn sounds. Team support unfortunately not included.

a random skin, it's... a random skin applied to a story? :p
Nah, I wouldn't call this random at all. Judging from the story provided (see the read-me) the cultist sounds like he would very much fit the description. To further help the model along the face has been altered -- grey skin and black goo of some kind dripping from the eyes -- and what seems to be potentially some grunge brushwork over the textures, which are mostly the same as the base textures but slightly different in the hue and saturation departments. Okay, so I just really nicely said "this is a recolor with some paint on it." Oddly enough I actually find it very tasteful. The brushwork is not overbearing and I've always quite liked the design of the cultist. The model really does too much credit to the silly NPCs in the game. They don't deserve such a nice model!
My favorite bit about this is the camouflage pattern on the sleeves and part of the legs. It's very subtle, and fits [i]very[/i] well with the color scheme of the rest of the skin. My least favorite part is the face -- the complete greyscale just doesn't seem to fit the rest of the skin. Overall not a bad cultist reskin, though. Definitely better than the average.

is a bit vague on that point, but it basically seems to use a lot from the Guyver skin, obviously quite a bit from the original model, and then there\'s a logo on the breast plate that apparently is from Bleach. I\'m not seeing much unique here, although that may be because I\'ve seen probably about 100 Gray Fox reskins.
In any case, the character is described in the read-me as \"a wannabe elite warrior, but instead of training his fighting skill, he just looked for the coolest gear to wear.\" If the included sounds are any indication, that\'s 100% the truth. Be warned, the sounds a mite bit annoying... Also I should probably mention that the included shader doesn\'t function because of a missing texture. Luckily this doesn\'t kill the skin itself, but it\'s lacking whatever the shader was meant to do.

author also added two A letters on the pants. This is clearly a personal skin the author made and overall it doesn\'t look that bad but it\'s not something to be looked at in awe. The facemask was done, according to the author, more metal looking but it only looks dark for me.
It has no bot support, nor team or npc. It does have sounds, Dessan\'s sounds which I\'m not too fond of but probably some of you are.
Overall not an impressive skin but it doesn\'t look too bad, check it out yourself and decide. :D

skin seems to be missing something there because it looks transparent there, and I sure it shouldn\'t be that way. Also the author claims this is a female skin and yet it looks too male and flat chested to be a female cause well you picked a male model to do this.
There is absence of detail on all the skin, looks like a simple paintbucket job. The sounds are a few noises of what appear to be monsters or something.
Also, the skin lacks bot, npc and team support. Overall not a very good skin, it could use a lot more detail and also it would be nice that you fix the waist area because it really stands out.

This new submission, while an improvement, isn\'t without it\'s flaws. The main one being that the new sounds make this \"Female\" character sound like a teenage boy. And while the there\'s new textures, the armor looks a bit fuzzy. It still doesn\'t have bot nor npc nor team support, so it\'s still lacking in that department.
If you liked the V1 of this skin you\'d probably like this one as it is an improvement, while not a huge one, it\'s still worthy of mention. Judge it by looking at the screenshots, which I had to take because the author did not submit one. Sorry if they don\'t look too good, I was rushed while taking them.
Also just as a tip, get a girl to say those lines for you and you\'re all set, also try to set your sounds.cfg to f instead of m so when the character rolls, it doesn\'t sound as a male.

thing I noticed was that the right hand was missing, and not on purpose either =_o. Secondly, the application job was horribly sloppy. Apparently the author simply tried to slap a picture of a mouth restraining mask on the Kyle texture and naturally it looked less than admirable. Quite frankly o_O you can\'t even tell it\'s a mask. It\'s like he dipped his face in pig manure. The shirt wasn\'t much better, as it just had a bunch of rectangular pictures blatantly slapped on. Very tacky, not at all blended. Sort of like me, except less tacky and more godly =_,=.
Overall, a rather mediocre job. I would learn to work with photoshop or something similar so as to possibly improve this rather strange concept .-. although I\'m sure only the masses would find it strange =_=.

Now as far as originality goes, it’s not original in any way. It’s called Darkness2theMax but I don’t get the darkness thing on this skin.

clothes, as I mentioned, but it leaves one arm sleeveless and does something really weird to the eyes. The textures are a little smudged -- literally; I think the smudge tool was used in this case. I don\'t know if the red bits are supposed to be some kind of decal, or some kind of cuts, but they\'re awfully bright either way.
Not team skins are included, so this\'ll basically be for those who would prefer that the Rodian be in some darker duds rather than the white they normally wear. I mean... in JK2 they\'re portrayed as sniper-toting assassins. And they\'re wearing [i]white[/i]. I think I understand what our author was thinking when he decided to darken up their clothes!

told that this warrior we have here goes by the name of Archangel (scout). I\'m just gonna call him Archangel, if you don\'t mind. So, Archangel. You\'re probably wondering, what he\'s like. From what I can tell, he was once a swamptrooper. Then he got his armour repainted white, a new breather for his helmet and some hook-like decorations under the eyes. That\'s more or less how one stops being a swamptrooper and becomes something akin to this man here.
Basically, it\'s a recolor. The changes made to the original texture, apart from the color, are minimal at best. And a side effect one doesn\'t see often with a simple color change is the near total loss of the lighting that the swamptrooper\'s texture had. Fortunately it\'s not completely missing, in places it\'s substituted by the author\'s own shading. Now, this is also something rare with first skins. Most beginners just whip up something they think looks cool and completely leave out the shading, which is what makes a texture look more realistic. Granted, the shading here isn\'t great, it\'s a little sharp in places, but it\'s something.
All in all, I find myself somewhat at a loss of words. It\'s nothing special, it\'s nothing horrible, it just is. For a beginner, I must say it\'s quite a good job. There\'s no extras, but I suppose one won\'t need them, since it overwrites the swamptrooper. Also, the icon doesn\'t work, cause it isn\'t a power of two (2, 4, 8, 16 etc). And that\'s pretty much it from me. Give it a whirl if it strikes your fancy.

apparently have an insane ability to harness the dark side. And unlike the Sith, they did manage their empire with respect to the emperor and not killed each other like most Sith did. But they were destroyed by the jedi and one of the only surivors was this girl.
The author added Team skins, SP support. It’s got Jaden sounds, NPC but no bot support.
The skin itself is a Black haired woman with purple highlights, a black coat with black pants, a gray shirt and in the alternate costume she wears a silver flight suit. On the coat she has a skull emblem in what appears to be two yellow wings. Overall not too shabby at all, it’s a nice variant to the Kusanagi model and definitely looks nice enough to keep.

darkened them and created a flat cross on the torso. The boots are covered with a texture that reminds me of a darkened surface image of Europa. There\'s also some weird metal-like texture on the feet, pauldron, forearms and neck. Oh, and the eyes are now white. And all of that is covered with an environment shader that gives the whole thing a rather glass-like appearance. Really, it looks like glass. Leather doesn\'t look like glass. Leather is better defined with a specular map, not an environment map. Environment maps are for materials that actually reflect the environment, not just the light, like leather does. The team skins are the same as original Kyle\'s and even the icon hasn\'t changed.
I can\'t say I like it, but maybe it strikes the fancies of some of you out there.

himself to reskin it and create something new. Here we have the fruits of his labour.
It\'s not much, just a recolor with some tweaks. The robes have been darkened and partially desturated (and a rock-like pattern overlayed on top), along with the pants and hair and Obi (now known as the Outcast) no longer has a beard. Instead, he sports a massive chin. Seriously, the thing is huge. And it looks like it\'s got a skin disease or something.
There\'s no extras. No bot, npc nor team support and it uses the jedi sounset. There are robed and hooded versions (with the robe colored dark brown/maroon) with icons, but it\'s not selectable via the profile menu. Overall, as recolors usually do, it looks good, but not original. I suppose originality wasn\'t what the author was going for, seeing as that\'s not something the jedi are known for when it comes to clothing.

probably before a lot of you were born (which, let me tell you, just makes me feel [b][i]old[/i][/b]). But in any case, if you can image what Desann would look like if you threw a bunch of pastel paints on his face, that\'s the feeling I got when I saw this. Then I started thinking it looks like chalk. Then I got over it and looked at the [i]rest[/i] of the skin. :p
So Desann\'s got a bit of a makeover. Some kind of mercenary makeover, I think, although if this is supposed to make him look like a mercenary then I\'m never hiring one... I mean, I don\'t want someone psychotic working for me! Desann\'s covered in blood, lava, goo, squares, yellow blobby things, and of course the pastel chalk paint I mentioned earlier. This is one of those skins that\'s just mind-bogglingly random. So if that\'s what you\'re looking for, have at it.

and I have a different idea of what \'old\' is. See, I\'d say the face on this skin makes the guy look like he\'s in his 30\'s. 40, tops. Now maybe he thinks 40 is old... but in my opinion, you\'re not old until AARP starts calling you. Now if someone would just tell AARP that my brother is only 25...
Anyway, despite the fact that I don\'t think this skin fits with the word \'old\', it\'s not a bad skin nonetheless. It\'s a bald male Caucasian with grayish-black robes and brown pants. Kinda matches, kinda doesn\'t match... but it\'s a guy. We all know guys aren\'t meant to have perfect fashion sense. Team skins are included, although the robes seem to just be HapSlash\'s original team colors. Custom sounds are included, some of which, I must say, sound curiously like Saul Karath :eek: -- well, I mean, the ones that aren\'t Anakin Skywalker. No NPC or bot support, unfortunately. If you\'re crafty, though, there are hooded and robed versions for you to play around with, so maybe that\'s a sufficient replacement.

appeal. It\'s Jaden with darker hair, in Hoth suit (which not features some dragons) and he has a scar and some dragon-ish eyes. Nifty. However this is all seemingly the same from the last version, so let\'s move along...
What [i]does[/i] seem to be new is the addition of two skin variations: an evil one, and a ripped up one. Now I\'m sure you\'ll all thinking \"lawl, evil is just Sith eyes and some red!\" Well for once apparently not everyone has the same idea of evil! The eyes are unchanged in the evil version, however the skin is now purple. Yes, purple. I don\'t know what makes purple an evil color (apparently I\'m simply [i]vile[/i], as my bedroom walls are purple...) but he\'s purple nonetheless, with some very geometric tattoos on his face.
The torn-up skin gets me a little. It\'s basically the same as the default skin, but with a bunch of rips in the clothing. Now what confounds me is the fact that the Hoth clothes are supposed to be [i]very[/i] thick and insulating, probably whatever the Star Wars equivalent of down is. Most of the rips don\'t seem to go all the way through, but a couple do seem to and are bloody. Now [i]my[/i] problem is that if that were the case, the blood would soak into the material which would kind of spread out and look more like a big blob than a line with blood dripping down it. So it\'s a little unrealistic in that respect. Aesthetically it looks alright, though, so I\'m sure none of you will care. :p

and only causes dispute. In any case that\'s the only description provided, so I\'m not really sure what this skin is supposed to [i]be[/i]. It looks like Luke in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt that either has the Flash logo on it or some generic lightning bolt, and a skull on the back. Luke also has a very black beard and a tattoo on his arm.
The textures are really lacking in detail -- a lot of the original shading is harder to see, and in the case the shirt it\'s completely gone. While I was [i]guessing[/i] that the legs are meant to be blue jeans, the boots portion is still shiny so I\'m not sure what\'s up there. The beard is also a bit unrealistic due to the hard edges, mismatch to his hair color, and its lack of color variation (look at a real beard to see what I mean). It\'s an interesting concept, but I think it could use a little bit of refinement in the detail department.
Team skins are included, as well as NPC support, and this doesn\'t overwrite Luke so no worries there.

team skins -- red and blue -- represent fire and water respectively and each have similar symbols on their backs. An oriental-looking mustache and beard have also been added to the trainer\'s face.
It seems like the only big changes here are the addition of the symbols, the slight facial hair change, and the recoloring of the default skin to be green rather than gray. However the recoloring seems clean and carefully done (the [i]entire[/i] thing hasn\'t been colored green, only the bits that are meant to be). Not too bad, all things considered, although I think it would be cooler if there was more to the whole \'elements\' theme than simply a symbol and a color.

red for each team.
Definitely not the most creative skin I have ever seen, or even very creative at all. I could have done this in two minutes, possibly less. It needs work. But, I gotta cut it a little slack. It is a first skin, after all... Usually, first skins are better left unreleased... Ah well, at least it included all the extras, except SP support.[/quote]This version seems to be quite a bit different from the original, and also has two skins included: the Sith Yoda, and a Sith Apprentice Yoda. The Sith Yoda is a light grey color with black robes and a darker top half of the face, while the apprentice is red with what the author calls Maul-like black scribbles on his face. The black lines still have the very round ends from the brush which probably should have been shaved down a little so they looked like designs and not colored paintbrush lines.
Beyond the new skin designs, the rest seems pretty straightforward. Black robes, some belt designs, and darker hair. The hair shaders don\'t seem to work, so the author\'s claim of having no bugs doesn\'t seem to be entirely true. Sounds are included, but they may potentially be the sounds from the original model; I haven\'t checked. NPC and bot support have also been included for your convenience.

been very fitting, given the season), but Luke\'s just been eating jam straight from the jar again. Naughty Luke...
I guess this skin is meant to turn Luke into a jam-a-holic or somesuch. His shirt is red, his face has a bit jam splotch on it, and he seems to have some on his fingers. His shirt also says, and I quote, \"i havn\'t been eating jam!\" Some spellchecking would be appropriate in the future. I\'m not entirely sure I see the appeal with this skin, unless you\'re a jam fiend. I grew out of peanut butter and jelly at pretty much the same time I grew out of footed pajamas, so I can\'t say I\'ve had an opportunity or a desire to eat jam in a long time. Even were I some type of jam enthusiast, however, I\'d say this skin needs a lot of work.
The biggest issues with this skin (other than the odd theme) is one of textural mismatch. The torso is a completely different color than the collar, hips, and legs -- the torso is red, the rest seems to be the grey Imperial uniform. Some fingers are red, some are grey, and some are paintbucket red. This is odd, to say the least. And as I mentioned before, \"haven\'t\" is misspelled on the torso, plus the entire phrase is off-center. Kind of a weird skin, all things considered, and could definitely use some work before I would consider it releasable. But in any case, here it is... released.

good, but up close, the folds on the coat seem hastily done, as if the skinner ran out of time. But a little gaussian blur on the folds would fix that right up. It\'d blend the different shades of gray together and leave the edges more rounded. For an added touch of better, get in there with a small, soft eraser and sharpen those corners, they tend to get rounded off when blurred. There\'s not much more to say, texturing wise. The pants and boots are desaturated and darkened from the originals and the arms are faced with the same problem as the torso, but look a bit better. There\'s also a subtle specular shader on the clothing, giving the light gray parts a shine that for some reason looks like silver woven into the cloth. Oh, team support. It\'s a bit difficult to distinguish friend from foe, since the differences are limited to a red or blue patch on the left shoulder.
Overall, this doesn\'t look too bad. There is still much that can be done, such as the addition of new sounds (Wavepad is free and you can do some pretty cool stuff with it) and an improvement in texturing, but for a beginner, this is quite nice.

Shadowtroopers) and integrated them into his metallic carapace. The end result looks quite good, I must admit, but the way these pieces of armour interact with the lights is a bit odd. The specular lighting cuts off very abruptly, owing to the specular maps having their contrast pushed to the far right. There is also the problem of the armour being pulled onto cloth, resulting in a very flat suit of metal.
For improvements, I suggest remodeling a bit, since overlapping pieces usually stick out, if even a little. The specular maps could also be greatly improved. Instead of taking the contrast to great heights, desaturate the texture, increase the contrast and brightness a little and that usually gives you a serviceable spec map.

Google revealed to me that this truly isn't what it's hailed as. It's a Jedi with his hair dyed uniformly dark pink/tan and with an added dose some sloppy blue paint for good measure. It's supposed to be a bald guy in tan clothes with a blue arrow-shaped tattoo over the top of his head and the backs of his hands. The similarities end with the blue, sadly. I wish I could say something good about it, such as "a point for the effort" but unfortunately there's next to no effort involved.
In the end, this whole thing reeks of carelessness. What could be done better? Pretty much everything. Select a better model, look up some texturing tutorials, post a WIP thread on the forums and listen to people when they suggest improvements. And practice. Lots of practice. One doesn't become a master overnight.

Parts of the outfit seem to be textured in a cybernetic pattern, which from a distance remind me of matrix code. This is definitely not the case however, upon closer inspection. The neck collar amused me, as it seems to look like a glowstick, hence my other reference =_=. All in all, however, the skin is very clean, crisp, and rather unique in its own right. Best of all, it has team support, so hurray =_=. Now all it needs is a modified soundset to sound more cybernetic, if you choose to take that approach.

basically just copied from the Supergreg skin with seemingly no alterations that I can discern. That suggests that the default skin and blue team skins are just direct recolors. It also has a shader which is quite subtle and most of the time not noticeable.
Beyond the team support and shader it doesn\'t seem like there\'s really anything new when compared with the original skin. Potentially a worthwhile update, but most of the credit should still probably go to Multivitamin, the original author of the Supergreg skin.

a goatee. Custom sounds are also included. Since the reborn and Kyle use the same base model the transfer of the reborn\'s textures onto Kyle was a simple task, so there are no seam errors.
Personally this was never my favorite reborn color combo, but that\'s beside the point. This skin, while relatively uncreative, didn\'t turn out too badly. It\'s clear that the new \'goatee\' was simply made by coloring over the facial hair on the head with the paintbucket which probably wasn\'t the best way to go about it. It also doesn\'t result in a very typical goatee shape, unfortunately. Hard to notice from a distance, though. Team colors are just default Kyle, and I must say that the sounds make me think of Alvin and the Chipmunks if they fell to the dark side...

that I\'m getting a little bored with it myself, and I don\'t even use those types of skins. This particular reskin features the Jedi Trainer with shadowtrooper armor on, colored green, with several Chinese letters on it.
This skin seems to be more of a personal skin, made for the author\'s particular use, so as such it\'s not real high on the creativity scale. In fact it seems that besides the addition of the lettering that there may not be much more custom work done here -- just recoloring and splicing. Since it lacks team support, bot support, NPC support, and any kind of new sounds, you may find yourself hard-pressed to come up with a reason to download this skin... unless of course you like dark green. :)
For future skins I would recommend finding that little something that\'ll make your skin really special. That may be extras, or it might be some kind of theme. But I do think this skin needs... [i]something[/i].

stand-alone skin but it also includes a pretty cool SP species along with it. And even if you don\'t want to use it in single player you can always make use of it through the multiplayer species selection menu to mix\'n\'match which bits you want to use.
The species menu is undoubtedly the hilight of the skin. It includes ten heads (five variations each of the samurai\'s and the Jedi trainer\'s), four torsos, and ten leg options. Not a bad selection. The theme is entirely black and white, so the level of variation is a little restricted in that way. The textures included are definitely based on Jimesu Evil\'s original textures, but are not straight recolors which is nice to see. As far as the regular non-species skin is concerned, I was a little disappointed with the team support. The only differences between the teams are head-gear and katanas, it seems. Not really going to help anybody playing a TFFA, I\'ll tell you that. So a little bit of impracticality there.
Overall not a bad skin. Definitely some material to choose from here, and none of it\'s outlandish (but none is super-boring either!). Japanese enthusiasts will want to give it a test drive, I suspect!

and a drawn up hood, so he can run when the fuzz engages in throwing stones at him.
Overall, it\'s nice attire he\'s crafted for our old friend teh Reborn. =_= My only concern would have been with the jeans, as the stitching looks a bit too bright. Perhaps that is the style of the particular brand being sported, but it seems odd =_=. Regardless, I think the only improvement I could think of at the moment would definitely be new sounds.

which is representative of ice (even though ice is typically clear...) and has a pulsing environment map to make it look icey every few seconds. Most of the detail that remains is simply left from the original model's textures and the rest is some kind of overlaid ice-like texture. Could use some body shading, but otherwise not too bad.
There is a second variant of this skin, and once again I'm going to ask why [i]anyone[/i] would intentionally add a full-body glow? I've done it by accident, but on purpose? My eyes are gonna fall out! Too bright! Not to mention it's hard to see the skin through the burning ice inferno that is the dynamic glow. Heh... ice inferno. I'm so clever (...not).

disappointed with the rest of it, though. I always question the logic behind [i]intentionally[/i] applying a glow to an [i]entire player model[/i]. If you have dynamic glow on, welcome a big white blur. If you have it off you can probably actually [i]see[/i] the skin.
Once you get past the big white ball of light, the skin's not too bad. It's not a straight recolor, although seems relatively close. Going from black to white and keeping it looking good is never easy, and this skin does an okay job of that -- not perfect, but passable. Beyond that, though, it's pretty much a white-clad Jerec with some lightning on him. Or, if you're playing dynamic glow, a white blob.

Jedi in some high-tech looking armor trimmed in green (or red or blue, if you\'re using one of the team skins). Each one is further trimmed with some pulsing glowing bits, which look really cool for the most part. Definitely some overall good work here!
So what could bring this down? Well, the default skin seems to be missing its face, which is kind of a bummer. Also I was kind of disappointed that there were no new sounds -- I hate the Jedi soundset! We do get some bot support though (only for the default skin) so that\'s a cool bonus.

fool you into thinking that these skins suck. They actually aren't bad, from what I saw.
The first skin is Alora. Her clothes are now almost all black, with blue lines all over it, which glows. The second skin is the other version of Alora, Alora2, which is the same for everything but the torso, which just has black clothes and no glowing on it. Team skins for both of them are the same as the defaults.
The third skin is a Cultist. This one, I thought, did not look so great. It has been mostly desaturated and darkened, like the rest, but has purple blobs on it, which I thought did not look that great. The brown and red skins for the cultist simply changes the purple to red, looking better, in my opinion.
Next up, we have a new Desann. Unfortunately, my computer will not let me view this skin for some reason. I am fairly certain that this is an issue with my computer, though, as it has had issues with Desann skins in the past. I leave this one up to all of you to see about for yourselves.
After that, we have a Reborn_new. Like the Cultist skin, this is a desaturated and darkened version of the new Reborn, with red spots on it that glow. Not very exciting in style, since they are just blobs... The blue skin simply replaces the red with purple.
Moving on, we come to the Reborn_twin skin. It is like the Reborn_new in the way that it is desaturated, darkened, and had spots added on it that glow red, with purple as the blue team color. The only real difference is that there is an extra skin in there that turns the glowing parts green instead of red or purple.
The last skin is Tavion_new. Her skin is now red, her clothes are black, except for a green pattern in her back, and she has yellow glowing parts on her. Oddly enough, blue and red skins were the same as the original Tavion_new team skins except the head and hands, which were the ones included in this default skin.
To be honest, they aren't bad skins, but to me, they lacked something that makes them interesting after a while. They all seem the same to me, desaturated, darkened, and with glowing spots. The best looking one out of them all, if you ask me, was the Alora one. The glowing spots have a cooler pattern to them, which most of the others lack.
Give this a download if you like the way they look. I, personally, will pass until there are more skins in the pack that interest me, instead of just one or two.

the actual skin, so I\'m really just going to assume that all that was changed was the addition of bot support, npc support, and new sounds.

of a knight\'s breastplate and chainmail on him, of course!
So, this skin has the standard issues that this type of skins has... It doesn\'t look very realistic. It doesn\'t look too bad when seen from a distance, but up close it simply looks like Kyle decided to color his clothes to look like it was trying to be a knight\'s armor. That kind of thing doesn\'t work too well, armor has to be modeled on, not slapped on over clothing. The textures are also stretched in certain areas, mainly the wrists, and that takes away from the appearance. The chainmail appears to be a bit too large, and goes over the hands, which is something that I usually do not see. It prolly would have been best to leave the hands uncovered, or lightly gloved. On Kyle\'s left side, the armor doesn\'t quite match up properly, and there is this texture showing through, which is prolly Kyle\'s original clothing. that would also need to be fixed. Lastly, the edged of the pieces of armor seem to just suddenly end and turn into the next piece. You need to make something there to at least try to give the appearance that it isn\'t all one material...
No extras were added, team skins are the exact same as the default skin. Oh yeah, this also overwrites your default Kyle, so you won\'t have him around if you throw this in your base as it is. If you like all that, give this a download.

is a bit more complex than that. The clothes have certainly been desaturated to be black -- typical, right? -- but some other changes have also been made. A very Zorro-style mask has been skinned onto the head and the mouth has been shortened to be more of a severe stare than a goofy Gungan grin. Say that 10 times fast.
Some other less notable changes are darkening of the skin and eyes. Some other minor changes have been added here and there as well. Team skins still exist, so feel free to use this guy in CTF or TFFA. Sounds, however, are another story. They\'ve been added incorrectly and thus will not function. Looks like there are some bot assets thrown in the wrong folder as well, so those won\'t function either. Overall not bad at all, but the extras could use a little fixing. For that alone I\'d recommend a v2. After all, what\'s a Gungan without appropriate sounds?

could tell for the default skin. Team skin changes the robe colors to blue and red for each team.
Definitely not the most creative skin I have ever seen, or even very creative at all. I could have done this in two minutes, possibly less. It needs work. But, I gotta cut it a little slack. It is a first skin, after all... Usually, first skins are better left unreleased... Ah well, at least it included all the extras, except SP support.

we are presented with a Desann reskin =_= tremble now..
This skin is relatively simple, and I can sum it up here and now. Put Desann in pitch black, give him some red circles for a belt, on his sleeves, and at the knee, and you have a cultly Desann. Is it totally ugly? No, but it leaves plenty to be desired, really. I would have at least gave Desann some dark Ceremonial Armor plating, and maybe do something in the back, as it's basically a black void.
One final thing to mention is that this will replace your regular desann, so if by chance you are appeased by this MIDNIGHT EVIL, appease the Filefront beast by feeding it your bandwidth.

Each of them is clad in armor and not too different from the other. The Legionary has white armor that looks practically like a bodice. The Praetorian has black armor and a gold helmet. All four have amusing sandaled feet, which I found to be an interesting addition. The evil editions of both the praetorian and legionary are basically black and red tweaks, as would be expected. Honestly, despite my lust for Roman stuff, I couldn't quite throw myself at these skins. They're nice, just didn't shine in my eyes.

movement of a zombie. They\'re quite difficult to come by, however. =_= These mummies make Averus somewhat sad.
Averus shows to you a cultist reskin that seems only partially mummified. The head, torso, and hands are the only things that are mummified. Basically, I can see the author basically didn\'t give a crap, and just made a white background and drew black lines horizontally, occasionally deviating. He then compensates by calling it a \"cartoon\" mummy. Honestly, it looks terribly sloppy, even for a cartoon, and personally, I wouldn\'t even call it a mummy, because mummies are fully mummified, generally. The only good parts are the biceps and thighs because there was little more than a color change done to them, so far as I can tell.
Overall, a rather sloppy job, just like last time. I would suggest working on actually making the bandages rather than just random lines. Also, the guilt trip ain\'t working. =_=

The clothes look desaturated, but since I can\'t remember the exact colors of all the Jedi skins, there might have been clothes like that already. The hair has been turned black, a scar has been added to the face, by the right eye, and the eyes turned an orange and yellow color. From a distance, the scar looks decently done, but up close, it\'s just a blurry streak... The final change that I could spot was a logo on the lower arm.
Not a badly done skin, really. It could use something more to it, though. The only real Sith characteristics it has are the eyes, and the word \'Sith\' on the logo on the arm... Other than that, it is just a slightly scarred Jedi. Perhaps a version two with more Sith-like characteristics is in order?

Mando Hunter. Here\'s the previous review:
[quote]The screenshot provided by the author is a little deceptive, as the flames he\'s cooking in make this skin look more colorful than it is. In reality is is basically a greyscale skin (although by greyscale I do not mean simply desaturated). It looks like some filters have been put on the textures, but overall it\'s not a bad look. The monochrome nature of the skin is broken up by the blue visor on the helmet, along with a bit of red. There is one slight bug, though, and that is with the cape, which is lacking textures because the author simply removed the line from the .skin file (as far as I can tell).
Team support and such are all the basic Boba Fett stuff. A custom NPC file has been added, though, with both a friendly and unfriendly NPC, so you can rock out with this guy and kill some stormies, or take out all your anger on him and leave him, as he is shown in the screenshot, as a smoking corpse!

So what\'s new? As far as I can tell, only a cape issue and SP support. I couldn\'t find any real difference in the skin itself, but there is always the chance that I missed something. Honestly, as it is, I wouldn\'t go so far as to call it a V2 as I would a V1.1 or something similar to that...
Anyway, give it a download if you liked the first version and wanted a little more to it.

part of the clothing has been changed, which has been recolored red. There are symbols pasted onto it as well, each having a Russian reference, as far as I could tell. They look almost as if they were meant to go where they were placed, really. But that's all that was done to it.
I personally find this skin a little boring, but it isn't that bad for a first skin. It would have been nice if some extras had been included, but you usually don't get those with first skins, and this is no exception. It also shares the common first skin mistake of including the _humanoid folder also. This is not needed for just a reskin... It just increases the file's size, nothing more.

This is a reskin of the [url=http://jediknight2.filefront.com/file/ObiWan_Kenobi;46752]HS Obi-Wan[/url] model. What\'s new, you ask? Well, the clothes have been turned black. But wait, there\'s more! The change has carried over to the team skins as well, with the exception of the red and blue on each skin staying that way while the rest was recolored. That\'s it as far as I can tell.
Honestly, while I don\'t find this to be very complex at all, it is a nice little change for those who like black clothing.
Give it a download if you like black clothing and this particular Obi-Wan model, I guess.

- team color skins
- siege skin
- 3 wallpaper included
- \"new\" sounds
- 2 costumization screens with 6400 possibilities
- singleplayer support[/quote]
Man, is there a huge selection to choose from with this pack. 23 heads, which are all variations on the same head, some just a basic scarred face, some a partially masked face, some a fully masked face, and some mixes of them. Hooded and unhooded versions are also included. There are just as many choices for outfits as there are for the heads... You have the choice of robed, unrobed, armored, unarmored, and mixes of those too. There are also various color schemes for each one, which adds even more to your selection. 6400, if the readme is correct. (I\'m not gonna do the math myself. :p) On top of all that, there\'s even a hologram skin included also!
Each piece is very well done. I especially love the armored clothes, and the fully masked head. I was only annoyed with one small part of this pack, which was the light brown robe. The texture on it just reminds me of a big burlap sack. Of course, that\'s just me, and others might not see it the same way. Add in support for NPC, team, bot, and new sounds, and this pack is sounding very nice.
I say give it a download. It\'s a big file, but it is worth it.

copper. It also is said to have been given a stun baton weapon, however, when I played it, it would not attack. It could just be that my computer was having issues with it, it does that with random files sometimes, so I leave it up to all of you to find the truth of that one. Honestly, I felt that this could have used a bit more. I do understand that it is only the second reskin that Galen_Cox has made, but I still felt that it could have had more done to it to make it look better.
So, give this a download if you like it.

as it is a mixing of the two, with a couple of other skins too. It seems that the head has been taken off of the Rosh skin, and put onto the Anakin, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Mace Windu reskins of the HS Anakin model. As far as I could tell, no other changes besides that are present.
This does replace the default Rosh, and since each skin was put into a different pk3, you can only have one in your base at a time. Each skin has come with a new npc file as well, which is sorta nice, I guess.
Overall, a definite improvement to the default Rosh, and a slight improvement to the Rosh version of the HS Anakin model. Give it a download if you like it.

put camouflage onto the pants and jacket that Roxas wears. It works quite well with the green part of the pants, but with the white part, and the jacket, it is not as great. It looks a bit too faded, to be honest. Other than that, this isn't a bad little reskin. Simple, yes, but not bad.
Unfortunately, there is no team or SP support, though there is a menu edit in this pack for one. Won't work, though, since the folder is improperly named, and there's no skin files or icons for SP.
Anyway, give this a download if you like the thought of a camouflaged Roxas.

known bounty hunters in the Galaxy. Ill get straight to it, the textures are decent and this definitely looks like a mandalorian, or in this case Boba Fett, in army clothing. I cant really think of anything bad to say, the textures seemed a little blurred in places, and the shoes looked kinda funny as they were also camo textured, but apart from that the author has done a decent job into making Boba look like hes just signed up for the army.
No new sounds here unforunately, and no team support. A bit disappointing as that would of given this skin a very complete like feel, but its still a nice skin and definitely one for your base folder if you like your army stuff.
Maybe next time add in some team support, and also something that just sprung into my head, change the textures on the pockets so it has a little more variation and the camo isn't too overwhelming. Overall nice job and if you like what you see, give it a download.

there's not really much to say about it o.O. Its basic, the author states that he thinks it looks a lot better, so I guess you can judge that for yourselves. Only a few things have been changed here, some Japanese symbols have been put on the clothing of one of the torso's (the green one), I don't know if it says anything pacific, but its looks kinda cool I guess. Armour has been changed on one of the other torso's as well, nothing major here, just some simple re-coloring. In the screenshots it looks as if the pants have been changed, but I couldn't tell at all, maybe a bug?:confused:
Some minor changes to the face have been made as well. This is his second skin ever so its not bad for a starting skin. I remember my first skins, boy, they weren't pretty at all. If you like what you see then give it a download If not then well,...download something else!.

decent reviews that are handy to both you hungry down-loaders, and the author.
So, on with the review!
This is a re-skin of Hapslash\'s superb Anakin Skywalker model. Rouge Agent has managed to transform the original Anakin skin into Kain from Command and Conquer, and may I say, what an impressive job he has done. Ill start with the face. This is practically spot on from what I can tell. I have never played Command and Conquer but when I looked up Kain and found some images of him, you can see a decent resemblance between this skin and Kain from the Command and Conquer games. There isn\'t a trace of Anakin in the face from what I can tell, unlike some re-skins to this model I have seen around the head area, this one has completely taken out that Anakin feel, and Rouge Agent has given this skin a delightful Kain look. The facial hair is in the correct place and adds a nice feel to the face.
Onto the torso and robe. Well basically because this model is based of f of Anakin, who is/was a Jedi as you all know, its kinda funny to see Kain in Jedi robes ;). Although things could have gone a lot worse around this area, RA has managed to combine that Jedi like feel with the head of the model to create a more unique Kain. Kain naturally dressed in all black, so figures that\'s all good, and the removing of the arms on the robe gives the skin a much more Kain like feel. There is some nice creativity with textures around the shoulders and hood area of the model as well, I\'m guessing this was put there with creativity, though I could be wrong as I couldn\'t find a reference image to suggest this was part of the Kain from Command and Conquer.
Well the legs, arms and boots have been given a simple re-color, so maybe more could of been done here but its not that important. If anything I think this lacks some creativity where it could of been used a little better. Still a decent skin and will I\'m sure be a very nice asset to many of your base folders.
New sounds have been added which is always a bonus. Unfortunately no team skins but, the author has said that will be included in a later version so fingers crossed! Bot support is included as well. Its always good to see these sorts of things as they really add brownie points to a skin :p.
Overall I think a fantastic skin and a must download for you Kain and Command and Conquer fans. Still I recommend this to others as well as it will surely be a nice addition to your base folder.
Over and out.

to most of his head, with the exception of the face and ears. Then, paint a clown style smile on the face, a blob resembling a banana on the chest, and that is what you get for the default skin. But, there\'s team skins... The blue skin has the same head, the blue Galak skin for most of the clothes, the arms being the exception as they are default Galak arms. Take some blobs painted in the shape of bananas on the chest and belt, chickens on the legs, and a monkey on the back with \"Punky\" over it and \"Monkey\" below it. Red skin is almost the same, but the blue turned to red and more bananas on the legs instead of chickens.
Honestly, painting it like that is not very good... The least that could be done is have it blend in with the skin a little... Ah well, if paintbucketing is your thing, give this a download...

the MEH Jawa skin. This Jawa looks like it has had it's robe brightened a bit, badly cut out clipart style images of pancakes slapped on each arm, and the word pancake slapped on the front. That's it. To be honest, like the last one, this could easily have been done in a minute or less. It is really that simple. The word pancake can't even be completely seen because the gun holster blocks part of the word.

orange, screw around with the gloves and accessories, and slapped an infinity picture on the back. Is it bad looking? No, but it\'s somewhat unoriginal, plus I would have found a better method to blend that back picture in. Square pictures stick out too much on a skin.
My suggestion? Expand out a little bit, maybe get a little more creative with the skin. If you want an easier goal, at least start with team skins. It\'s always depressing to have default team skins on a custom skin.

white, had some symbols slapped on the arms, and the word "MEH" slapped onto the hood. New sounds and bot support have also been added.
To be honest, I don't find this skin to be very creative. All it had going for it in my eyes is the "MEH", and that is only because I happen to be wearing a shirt that says that, and in almost the same font. However, it is badly done, as it could have been.

detail on; you can read it if you feel thus inclined. I don't quite remember the quality of the textures of the original Ewok, but the textures here are a little blurry, at best, and don't really resemble blood and gore all that much. Stylized blood, perhaps.
We have sounds and bot support here, but no NPCs or team skins though which is kind of a bummer. If you're looking for a goofy spoofy zombie, or another Ewok to use as target practice, give it a shot. It's sure to keep you amused for hours.

little here is the author\'s original work I have very little to comment on, since I\'m not in the habit of re-reviewing content that has already be reviewed. I guess what I [i]can[/i] say is that somehow the new hair styles do make Anakin look a lot different, although underneath it all it\'s still Hayden Christensen\'s face.

think hurts Ninja awesomeness. However, this skin\'s actually somewhat interesting. A couple things don\'t sit with me, however.
- The mask, gloves, and boots seem a little paintbucketed.
- The outfit\'s cloth textures just don\'t seem to sit too well with me. The colors are fine, but the texture itself seems a little blurry.
Otherwise, it\'s an alright skin. Nothing that I\'m going to say: \"OH MY GOD I DEMAND THIS SKIN REMAIN IN MY BASE UNTIL I DIE.\" However, it\'s something that you can enjoy for role-play or just amusement purposes. Sadly, no other bonuses other than team skins.

Here\'s what\'s been updated:
[quote]- I put the headand on the arm and I change the symbol with the konoha symbol
- I\'ve add some texture to the torso and make it a little bit more dark
- I\'ve maked up the face, especially the eyes where I\'ve put somemark
- The team skin have been change in the same way as the default skin
- I\'ve remove the tatoo on the face and improve the \"mask\" with some texture
[/quote]
Overall, I honestly didn\'t notice any change, which is sad for me. However, it\'s still a good skin. Clearly it will destroy oriental planets =_=. *Flexes* I go now.

Granted, it still looks good, but I personally would have thought to have done something more with the skin. The chest plate was just sorta slapped into black, and the only thing really desert camo is the helmet. The rest of it just kinda is colored to play along with the color scheme, rather than act as real camo.
Along with that, there's no extras to whet your proverbial appetite =_=. I would suggest perhaps tweaking this skin a little more to make it seem more complete.

and are now more of a greenish color, fitting in well with the author's initial idea of a sewery scout trooper. After all, someone has to go down there! Biggest problem with the execution of this skin is it's trying to make an environmental effect on a flat texture. The entire reason there are environmental shaders are for this purpose - reflections move, and because they don't on this skin it looks more like someone heated up his plastic armor and swirled it around a bit, then let it cool and harden. An environmental shader would go immense lengths here to make this reflected look actually work for the model.
In this version we have also been graced with team skins, which basically turn the black underlying cloth bits blue or red, depending on which team you use. Sounds are included, but once again do not function because the sounds.cfg file is pointing to the wrong folder. NPC and bot support have also been included, but the bot support was created using bots.txt so it is very likely to screw up the rest of your bots. Keep in mind for the future that bots should be done using a .bot file and a .jkb personality file, not a .jkb and bots.txt.[/quote]There have been some marked improvements in this version, most prominently being the included environment shader. This gives the skin its shimmery appearance that you might expect, rather than just trying to emulate it with flat textures. Team skins are also a little different than they were before, actually coloring the armor rather than the cloth beneath. Sounds still won't work, which is a shame, and the bot support has also been broken (it should be .bot, not .bots).
Overall, definitely not a bad update. Fixes some errors, and while not perfect is should be an interesting change to the scout trooper model. Definitely give it a look if you're a scout trooper enthusiast.

green, while her outfit is now kind of a bluish pinkish purpley color. Say that five times fast (not really... please don\'t). Oddly enough, her headband is red. Not sure why it\'s red, when the rest of the outfit has no red in it whatsoever, but... meh.
Overall, not too bad. For the [i]most[/i] part, other than that red thing, it keeps a steady and non-clashing color scheme which is always nice to see. I\'m not sure if I\'d use it, as green is not really my color, but I will admit to never really liking Alora\'s deep red color, and I\'m sure there are other people who feel the same.

basically the snowtrooper with a camouflage pattern laid over the top of it. The pattern itself is a pit pixelated, making me wonder where it came from, but despite this pixelly nature it doesn\'t really look too bad from a distance.
I found it a bit strange that the pants and the torso are a completely different color camouflage, and on the torso and skirt it\'s pretty easy to see the lines where the camo pattern doesn\'t match up and wasn\'t feathered to conceal those edges. [i]Real[/i] team support has not been included (you\'ll just get the default snowtrooper team support). No other extras seem to be included either, which is kind of a bummer.

which can be easily seen in the screenshots. Namely, there were JK2 Icon additions, skin turned gray, brown hair into black, among other things. Overally, while not totally creative, it is a respectable reskin.
My sole qualm with this skin lies in the sound department. Mainly the execution is what bothers me. The sounds are just the cultist, but the author decided to unnecessarily add on space by including a whole renamed cultist directory. This issue could have been solved with a mere sounds.cfg setup. In addition to that, his soundset was named Revan. Thankfully I looked in his soundset beforehand, because I would have thought he actually added the Revan model soundset. Case in point, one overwrote the other and kinda made things slightly weird.
Other than that problem, the skin\'s fine. I highly recommend project Temple Offering =_=.

I will call a \"Photoshop Dropout.\" The skin relies heavily on paintbucketing, color replacement(not very good either), and manually painting on a potentially cool symbol.
Honestly, I think the credit of this skin would have gone slightly up if he hadn\'t manually painted that cross symbol. We have tools to make things look better y\'know ._.; I would suggest something a little better than that.
Overall, rather C- skin, given that it was only a slight reskin. Initiate staring of the pictures ating to see what I mean. =_=

that it really matters. The armor itself is pretty cool, and while it is based off of Desann\'s original textures it does have enough additions to look quite unique.
It\'s certain that a lot of effort was put into this, but I do think that the parts that are meant to be chainmail could certainly be better. It seems as though the author has used a base texturizer filter on those bits. Unfortunately chainmail is made of, well, chains, so they don\'t particularly look like burlap, which is how I would describe the chainmail as it is right now. It simply looks like a very rough and very heavy cloth.
Overall it\'s an interesting and unique-looking Desann reskin that certainly doesn\'t rely on recoloring to make the skin, which is a nice change. So if you\'re looking for a Samurai Desann that sounds like a rancor -- oh, did I forget the mention that? -- look no further!

colors.
And this skin is just that, random swirly patterns applied to the original textures. But don\'t get excited yet! The author didn\'t take the skin map into consideration, so nothing on the skin lines up, unless purely by chance.
To top it all off, the author didn\'t seem to bother reading the Submit Files section on the website, which holds some very useful hints on packaging your pk3s. Among them you find an explanation on why not to include the _humanoid folder.
I guess my point is, spend a bit more time on your skins next time, take the time to line up the textures, and package it correctly, they may seem like little things but, golly, they do wonders.

across it, and fancy new cuffs. His trusty arm patch has been turned completely black, along with his pants and shoes. For an added Sith effect he has red eyes, perfect for hunting down some of those pesky junior Jedi. Overall the shirt has a very good design, and manages to implement a lot of change, without being overstuffed.
Now, there are some problems with this skin, which I found to be somewhat big of a deal. Precisely, the author compressed his jpg's as much as he possibly could, resulting in VERY low quality textures. While this is not so visible on the shirt, his pants are so horribly pixelated they look like something VERY pixelated.
Other small things which could very well be fixed is his almost textureless collar, it looks very much out of place and with a tiny bit of effort could be turned off. Same goes for Kyle's arm patch. It's pitch black, and I'm sure the skin would work a lot better without it, or it could be textured properly. Lastly his eyes are completely textureless as well, a simple recolor of the default eyes would look a lot more professional, but then again, when you play you never get to see them anyways.
In version three, the author included team skins. These don't vary from the originals save for a recolored stripe and cuffs. I was never a fan of these kinds of team colors for you can barely tell whose on which team.
[/quote]
Simple enough? Good =_= now, version 4 has literally two tiny updates.
[quote]this removes the shoulder pad and fixes the collar color somewhat. [/quote]
A very small, almost unnoticed set of changes. However, I suppose it's enough to keep this skin alive. I was personally hoping the author would at least do something about those terribly paintbucketed eyes, but I suppose not. The only other thing new added would be the bot support.

it simply, the title and the screenshot explain this skin's intent perfectly. Basically I think the author did photoshop color replacements on the skin and one paint attack on it. Simple, and yet not that entirely offensive, to be honest. However, I would suggest the author expand his horizons now that the concept is grasped.

On the other hand, I can\'t help but think that it was done in MS Paint. If it was, well done O_o you did better than most people. However, your efforts are sort of wasted. Not to say your skin is bad, but the textures feel out of place, much like an MS Paint work.
I would suggest sporting our evil forums and checking around for skinning tools.

like a cross between Austin Powers and Harry Potter. Luke now dons a green outfit with some backwards Z\'s on it in various places. His sight also seems to have declined, as he now sports a pair of glasses.
The big issue with this skin is it\'s very undetailed. It looks like the color was painted opaquely and without shading, almost MS-Paint-ishly. The team skins are just the norm with the Z\'s painted over the top. No other extras have been included either.[/quote]To be honest, not much has changed here. The glasses were removed, and a sith version of the skin has been added. Beyond that it retains the relatively low quality seen in the first version. By \'low quality\' I refer to the sloppy coloring (dark areas can still be seen at some of the seams on the legs).
Another addition is two recolors of stock game saber hilts, both of the same overall quality of the player skins. The default skin simply has Luke\'s icon, so it may be a bit tricky figuring out which one is Luke and which one is Logan. Overall I don\'t really think there\'s enough of an improvement here to warrant a version two. Increase the quality overall and then we\'ll talk.

apparently the author was getting sick of seeing all the Kyles around in servers when they did not have the other player\'s skins. So this was created to make something a little more mysterious, to break up the annoyance of constantly seeing Kyles.
As it is what it is, there is really little to say about it. It\'s nice for a change, but the skins are now mostly see-through, which can make playing the game a bit annoying in certain bright areas where the white on the skin blends in to the surroundings...

near paintbucketed blackness, and had a symbol of some sort slapped onto the back. That's it.
That alone isn't bad... I have seen worse in my time around here. But it was the readme that bugged me. Incomplete, full of spelling errors, and generally annoying to me, I had to go and complete it and fix some of the major spelling errors, otherwise I wouldn't be able to live with myself... Sadly, I also had to edit the pk3 itself, as the humanoid files were included, which made this file a lot bigger than it should have been for such a simple reskin.

the first 'old Kyle' skin I've seen and I suspect it won't be the last. I've always been curious why someone would want to play as a senior citizen, but I guess I can kind of see it. This particular skin makes Kyle's hair white, adds some scars, and changes his clothing.
There were a few things I noticed with this skin right away. First was that the hair is not very neatly altered. There's no feathering or blending at the edges of the newly white hair, so in many places there's a very solid line where the recoloration stops and the original color peeks through at the edges. Also the moustache is a much brighter white/gray than the rest of the hair. The face also has not been changed much, so he doesn't really look much older than he already was. I mean 40 year olds can have completely gray hair, so a simple hair color change doesn't mean much.
With regards to the clothes, I have no idea what they're [i]supposed[/i] to represent but they're very random. Maybe it's supposed to be one of those 'old people' sweaters? If that was the case I'd have surfed off the shoulder pad. There are only slight differences between the team skins -- blue/red arm bands and eye color changes -- and no other extras have been included.

So apparently if Kyle were to want to avenge his father\'s murder, he would dress in green with black pants and a picture of himself on the back of his shirt. And a #3 on the front of it. I don\'t know the significance of the number 3.
This skin is basically just a recolor, a paintbucket, and some copy-pasting. It\'s low on the creativity scale, which is unfortunate, and could stand a little bit more unique changes rather than just color changes and decals. Team support is included, but the only difference is that the team skins have either a rebel logo on them or an imperial logo. No other extras have been included.[/quote]We have a few relatively minor updates to this skin. I say relatively because they\'re significant, but the skin doesn\'t end up [i]looking[/i] all that different. Firstly the entire thing (in terms of the clothing) has been darkened significantly. The three on the torso has been removed, and the shoulder pads are now red instead of green. Team skins are now also actually red and blue instead of sporting rebel/imperial logos. That\'s about all that\'s been changed, so take it or leave it.

most of them. Instead a wood texture has been applied to the whole armor area and it has the same wood texture applied over that as an environment map, giving it a shiny look. Since the original textures aren't used on the armor, the swamptrooper now lacks a face, which is unfortunate. Honestly I think this would be better if it was based off of the original textures. At least then it would retain some detail rather than being a bronzish blob.
There are a lot of extras included with this, most of which have nothing to do with this mod. Firstly there are the additional shaders, which will add shader detail to Blue Ninja's [file="79597"]Dance Club Duel[/file] and [file="78415"]Factory Room Duel[/file].

issues recognizing the basic theme here. As with most earth-based fantasy themes, the major color here is green, and leaves are a very prominent feature. No surprise, right? Leaves have been placed strategically around the skin, such as over the eyes and on the dress. The rest of the skin is also very nature-y, featuring mostly earth tones.
The team skins are not quite what you would expect. The blue team skin is similar in design to the default, except it features the shorter hair style and is far bluer than the default skin (but still decidedly green). The red team skin is a little odd. It\'s a very dark shade of green, almost an olive actually. It is unclothed (but shows no anatomical detail) and has some white detailing on it, as well as some more leaves.
These skins should prove perfect for fantasy fans, although the lack of custom sounds is somewhat disappointing. Jaden will have to do for now.

pointed out last time, because the author removed his not-so-medieval backpack, it left a dark splotch. Well no more, because now his armor encumbers his back as well. And speaking of armor, a bunch of minor texture modifications (patterns, emblems, etc..) have been implemented as well, which while you might not notice right away add to the overall look of the skin. The arms are now also protected by two separate pieces of armor, and all the textures have been updated to look more realistic.
A new metallic shader is now also included, it's pretty, and subtle. However when I look at it, I feel like what's giving off the shine is a flat piece of polished metal. That is certainly not the case with this knight, while neat, his armor isn't flat. That's just something the author might look at improving.
The cloth on his legs has been changed for far more contrast and dramatic shading, which while might not go in the way of realism, looks pretty cool.
There are new team skins, each one varies from the default with the chest emblem, a red or blue tint (duh) and a team-exclusive skirt, that means the blue, default, and red teams all have a different one. Quite a nice touch Ill say.
Now, i bet by now your shaking with anticipation, after all, I DID mention a surprise. I'm sure you already spoiled it for yourself by looking at the screenshots but what the heck, ill write about it anyways.
Loeb now has a golden set of armor, and as an added bonus for all of you naysayers, his skirt is gone. Again, the same problem we had last time with removing the backpack, but I'm sure it'l be fxed in the next version. While I personally adore the way he looks with the skirt, I've heard someone say they don't want it. Well it's gone. Enjoy.

taken Jaden's clothes, desaturated and lightened them, added a nice little flame effect to the bottom of the torso. A symbol has also been added to the back on the torso. Unlike a lot of other skins that have done something like this, this one appears to have been blended in a bit. Team skins have been included, blue being the same as the default skin, and the red being mostly the same, but with a large unexplained dark spot on half of the face. As far as I could tell, there were no other changes, but still a decent reskin. I have seen much worse out there.
It looks like the author also attempted to include SP support, but forgot to put icons for all the pieces, so it will not work.
So, uh, you know... Give it a download if you like it.

DAH!
To be honest here, i can\'t help but wonder if the author asked himself: why? All you really get here is a reborn, and that\'s it, because you almost never get to see the face. And when you do, it\'s a moment so brief by no means are you able to tell it\'s Kyle.
So unless you enjoy looking at skins in ModView, and it\'s the only way to appreciate the mighty texture swap, don\'t bother with this one.
Oh yeah, you also get about three duplicates of the same skin files, and a file called .DS_Store.
Enough said.

be offended by it.
Case in point, if you don\'t want to read the description, some blasphemy occurs in the future of the SW universe and Kyle needs to be summoned back
to kick some major arse. At first I thought this was going to be kyle\'s face slapped on a reborn, but at this point, I think that would have been better.
Why do I utter this blasphemous phrase? Quite simple: the title of the skin doesn\'t seem to really match with the feel of the skin. When I saw \"The Force Reborn\", I was thinking of Kyle dressed in some sort of glorious garbs, and white eyes. What we get is a Kyle with a \"ripped\" shirt and yellow eyes. Yes, a bit of a disappointment, but it\'s the author\'s imagination at work here, and not mine.
Overall, this skin\'s hardly impressive. I would suggest a clothing overhaul, but if that\'s too much, then I\'d suggest a glowing shader on the eyes. That, and if you have sound editing programs, try to mod his soundset. That would probably improve the feeling of the \"reborn\" personal aura. This, in its current statement, looks like a really ill zombie.

where Inyri talks about what's wrong with the skin, that's my job :p)
[quote]I'm not sure where the name came from for this skin, but it's certainly a neat skin. It's a reskin of the snowtrooper to make him a knight, and the author seems to have done a pretty good job with it! Enough has been changed so that it's recognizable, but definitely doesn't look like the snowtrooper anymore. The breast plate has been completely changed, and the head has been given some chain mail to protect the neck area. Hopefully it's cortosis chain mail, otherwise...
Where was I? Oh yes. Chain mail. The eyes frankly creep me out, but they certainly add to the effect. Definitely an interesting and unique reskin of the snowtrooper.[/quote]
What's changed in this version? Well, everything that Inyri mentioned in her review, and the community in the comments, has been fixed. That means we now have new sounds, team support, bot support, the backpack has been removed, and our knights he met no longer looks like a peacock.
But that's not all, the author also updated the textures, Loeb now has a completely new breast plate, which looks much, much better and detailed than the original. Minor changes have also been implemented, fixing those small imperfections and adding more detail to the overall presentation of the skin.
Now, i don't know if the author did this on purpose or not, but the team skins are almost exact copies of the original Loeb, with a color filter on. While I can see why he might have done that, it might also be due to a freak mistake. Who knows!
Onto the wrongs of the skin shall we? There was just one thing I found wrong with the skin, now that the backpack is gone, the author forgot to change the back texture, and in the middle of his back there is a black patch. I can't say the effect is quite impressive and in the event of a version 3.0, it should absolutely be fixed.
Overall, a file worthy of many downloads, for it's enormous detail, idea, and everything good about a skin. I guess all we can really expect now is an updated version with the back fixed, NPC support, or better yet, a whole army of knights.

skin have been turned green, and most of the head, torso, and legs have been paintbucketed black. A yin-yang has been slapped onto the torso, and on each side of the head as well. That\'s just about it. For the team skins, the green parts have been changed to the proper colors, and for the \'brown\' skin, the green was turned gray. This skin also overwrites the default cultist skins.
Really not the most creative skin I have seen, and certainly not the most well done one, but I have seen worse. Give it a download if you want.

[quote]Masses, we\'ve yet another all black reborn recolor. While the author attempted to add a second version with a shiny shader effect, this altar offering remains among the ho-hum black reborns that we\'ve seen all across the site\'s pages.
There\'s not much else to be said, unfortunately. Aside from the alternate appearance, there\'s nothing else except bot support, which I suppose counts a little bit more than the usual skins we get. It\'s not that the recolor\'s bad looking, but I would just suggest a little more creativity put into the author\'s next project.

look [i]more[/i] like cloth. This version only changes this slightly, but brightening it up and giving it an orangey-yellow look. The author included shots of the original texture and his reference, which I put up, and I\'m going to explain why using the reference he did was a bad idea.
It\'s quite obvious that a yellow light is shining on this particular Jawa, and as such the yellow is not the real color of the cloth. The problem is the author assumed it was and skinned his Jawa accordingly. In the bottom left corner of the reference image you can clearly see that the color of the robe more closely matches the original textures.
So my final opinion is this skin isn\'t necessarily more accurate to the movies, but I don\'t really think it\'s any worse, either. Improved probably isn\'t as good a descriptive term as \"different.\" It\'s yet another option to consider if you want to play as a Jawa. Only thing is this is still an overwrite, so if you prefer the original Jawa you should probably steer clear unless/until this becomes a stand-alone skin.

make you go: \"Oh my, that seems to destroy planets very efficiently!\" This particular brand of skin adds its own life to its lesser base model. I honestly felt that this skin had a good bit of effort put into it, and I particularly like the eyes. Those eyes complete the image, and I honestly could envision this character\'s evil =_,=.
I believe, however, that this skin still has some things it could use. While the skin texturing and what not is fine, I believe it really could benefit from some custom sounds. It has team support, although it\'s just the same skin repeated. While this would be fine for red team, it would probably get a little difficult when you\'re on the blue team.
Other than that, an excellent skin. The author has shown to myself and the community that even the reborn twin can have promise with the right imagination and ideas.

DRAGON* dun duh dun dun. Now that were done singing let us continue on with the file. It's an updated version of Cry4Pxls/Kurt's skin. The author claims that the changes are major. however i remain skeptical as all he did was use a completely different model and textures. >_>
For some reason i feel compelled to compare this to Jasper's skin, could it be caused by the fact that it was made by the same author, and released on the same day? Very likely.
This skin, much like Jasper's skin has it's ups and downs. This one uses a very similar (but good) texture for the vest, making it look indeed VERY realistic, the downside being that it's just boring, all of it is grey save for the head. We also have custom, home made sounds, and while usually that's a good thing i can't say this is the case with these ones. I won't get into detail about that though, ill sum it up with a changelist from the read me and move on with my life.
[list]
[*]Added a texture on the torso and arms to make the jacket look more like a "normal" jacket.
[*]Added scars to the face, which actually came out quite nicely for a change.
[*]Added the dragon eyes known from Jasper's skin
[*]Dyed the hair color somewhat flame-ish.
[*]Removed the "Cry4Pxls" on the back.
[*]Some other minor changes.

in the readme, the changes include:

[*]Made the skin grey/black.
[*]Dragonscale texture placed over the torso and arms.
[*]Added a couple of dragon pictures on the skin.
[*]Added the name Jasp on the models left cuff.
[*]Dyed the hair black.
[*]Added dragon eyes.
[*]Added a scar from his eyebrow to his nose.
[/list]
This skin isn't great, but it isn't bad either. It certainly looks much cooler than the original, the desaturation really does it well despite the simple process involved in creating said effect. As an added bonus you also receive a dragon on Jasper's back (the author certainly did a good job blending it in) and his legs. The legs really don't look that great, probably because the author didn't use his opacity tool as proficiently (if at all) as on the vest. The skin has also been equipped with a scar, and dragon eyes, unfortunately you never really get to see either.
May i also add that these screenshots really don't do the skin justice. Why? Who knows.. It just looks better ingame.

change is minor, and something that anyone with photoshop (or probably other similar software) could have done. Basically what was done was a texturizer filter was added to the cloth portion. That's all I can really find that's different, so you'll have to make up your own mind on this one.

face is different, but the underlying texture was not changed, just [i]added on to[/i]. A beard was added, and though the beard does not use the best texturing technique, from a distance it just looks kind of curly, I guess, so it doesn't really matter all that much. Don't get too close and you won't notice.
This skin is based off of HapSlash's wonderful [file="70767"]Anakin Skywalker[/file] model and Elak Andor's [file="72931"]Mace Windu reskin[/file] on that model. As such it removed the modeled-on hair found on the original model to replace it with a simple scalp. In the case of this mod, hair was then skinned on in the same fashion as for the facial hair. Overall, the technique worked a [i]lot[/i] better for this author on the head than it did on the face, but as I said you can't tell how funny the facial hair looks from a distance (which is where you'll almost always see it), so it's really negligible.
A couple of beefs I have. It's obvious this author is new, because he simply included Elak Andor's shader without changing the paths to affect his new skin, so it won't have any effect on this particular skin. Also I dislike the sounds... but I have a personal grudge against male Jaden's voice actor and his inability to not sound corny, so that's a very personal preference. They're not male Jaden sounds, by the way, they're just done by the same guy. We all know how Raven likes to recycle... ;)

defeat the purpose. In any case, this skin is supposed to be a ninja, using the Reborn Twin model. So it\'s basically black... yep. Black. It does have a little bit of red on the hands, though. The face has also been half covered to make it look more ninja-ish. Interesting concept, and far better than simply calling it a \"Sith Reborn Twin\" or something like that. It may just be black, but it\'s still ninja-ish... minus the armor...

you all today is a Jedi recolor called Dark Knight. Take the default Jedi, desaturate him completely, make his eyes and the surrounding area a red and orange color, and give him dark triangles on the face to serve as what I assume are tattoos, and you would have this file.
I suggest to the author of the file to next time do a bit more to it. Even if you are a beginner, you learn by doing, and you have to do more to learn. :p

Where was I? Oh yes. Chain mail. The eyes frankly creep me out, but they certainly add to the effect. Definitely an interesting and unique reskin of the snowtrooper. The only things I think would have made it even better are team support (I'm certain a clever way to implement them could have been found) and new sounds. New sounds for sure! What's the sense in it looking completely new and still sounding like a stormtrooper? :(
Overall, though, a good skin. Recommended for players who want to give their stormies a makeover.

looks cool in my eyes, and when you apply skins like these to it they are just spiffing ;) Aside from the shine which always looks nice on metal, the colours suit each other and look like (in my opinion) ninja armour should - oh, and I love the new sounds :) What are they from? They fit this superninja idea very well, although perhaps they could be a bit more machine like?
So, theres 3 skins, although 2 of them are for team skins, and are basically the main skin except in red and blue. The other one is a very sinister green which goes with the whole stealth-design. Oh yeah! Also included in this pk3 is a new saber for the ninjas to use, which I think looks very sleek, and definitely better than any other I have seen which came with the game :D My favourite is the blue skin, because I like blue better, and it is now my favourite bot to play against :) So there\'s team support, new sounds and bot support! Its not very often I see a skin like this which has a high standard in all of these areas, but this is certainly one of them. Very good work on this skin, and although the author didn\'t make the model himself he certainly picked the best one to use :)

This skin is one of those. It uses parts of the [file=\"14420\"]Ravage[/file] skin to create the author\'s idea of a Sith Lord. It has an elaborate backstory, which I\'ll allow you to read for yourself.
This skin is basically a reborn, with some borrowed flesh textures to make this particular Sith Lord a shirtless, hooded reborn skin. Dressed in dark clothing, it creates a cool, albeit not really unique look, as it doesn\'t deviate all that sharply from the original. It does include bot support and team support. NPC support was included, but it was placed in the wrong folder of the PK3 so it doesn\'t function. The sounds are a mix\'n\'match of assets sounds (mainly Kothos and Ragnos, it seems).

many changes. Personally I\'d say the reborn new is old and tired, as far as interest goes, and a few tattoos on top of an otherwise unchanged texture aren\'t going to make it that much more appealing. A little more creativity, though, and this skin could certainly go quite a way.
Bot and team support are included. No custom sounds; the sounds included are just re-arranged Kothos sounds, which make you wonder why the author didn\'t simply assign that soundset in the first place.

the Jedi model to give it the shadowtrooper\'s armor. I\'ve seen several skins like this, and I must say that this particular one could be better. The problem with doing a skin like this is it involves transferring images from one skinmap to another, and to do it well you must match them up as closely as possible. For many parts of this skin, the skinmaps aren\'t really that close.
The torso for this skin is pretty close to what the shadowtrooper looks like; the two skinmaps are similar enough where it takes very little manipulation to get them to fit over each other well. The arms and legs are another story. If I had to take a guess, I\'d say the shadowtrooper texture are actually rotated 90 degrees from what they should be. The legs simply seem to be chopped off a little and rotated slightly (rather the author didn\'t take the angle of the original skinmap into consideration).
It\'s not too bad overall, but it could definitely use some work to create a better final product. A little more attention to detail is all that\'s needed, though.

the front. Seriously, [i]why?[/i] Anyway, I did have a point with all of this. These two skins, a camouflaged snowtrooper and a stealthy black stormtrooper, are meant to be stealthy units... yet they have nice white Imperial logos on them in various places. But, seeing as how real people are equally as silly, I'll give this author a break! :p
Anyway, so I already said there was a camo snowtrooper and a black stormtrooper. I've seen a lot of bad colorings of stormtroopers; usually people simply don't know how to handle white armor. These, however, are not bad at all. I'm not into stormtroopers (especially different color ones) but there's always a marked difference between the things I like, and the things I think are of good quality, and I'm always objective about the difference. These skins are good for what they are. They're simple, but they don't lose much detail in their darkened state, which is nice (and unusual). Even on my not-so-bright laptop screen I could see all the original detail in the armor.
For those who like the complete package, NPC and bot support have both been included. A very nice bonus! While I wouldn't want to [i]use[/i] one of these skins myself, it could be a lot of fun on a Yavin-themed map to have some stealthy stormies running around. I an forgive the white logo, since the Empire was stupid enough to put white stormtroopers on Endor. So one white logo is a vast improvement! These could be fun for themed fights, so definitely give them a download if you like playing on foresty/jungle maps. I think they'd really enhance gameplay for those types of areas.

production line! In all seriousness, though, this is indeed the very typical Sith/darkside look. This may be good or it may be bad, depending on your tastes. I personally prefer something a little more unique than simple desaturations.
Let's get a little more specific with this skin. The clothes look to be a straight desaturation with no surprises or alterations. The face looks to be desaturated and super-contrasted. A black line has been added to the face (some kind of cut?) with some black spray can marks coming from it (black blood?). The hands, as best I can analyze them, seem to be dirty. They are also clearly a different tone than the face, which is kind of odd. That seems to be the end of this skin, really. It does have NPC support, which is nice, but bot support probably would have been more practical.

music dies off, crickets are heard*
Ok ok, I know, another reborn reskin. But at least this time it is not a regular reborn, but a reborn_new reskin. I have to admit also that I have seen much worse reskins, but then again, I have seen a lot better.
So what has been done, you ask? Well, to start, the armor underneath the main front torso armor has been turned red with a blue center instead of gray with a red center. The front torso armor itself has been turned red, with a blue stripe close to the top, followed by gray at the very top. Not many changes so far, each easy to do with editing of hue and saturation. But wait, there\'s more! Text has been added as well! \"|LG|\" has been added to the armor on the torso of the reborn and on the cloth at the back of the head. Also on the back of the head is the word \"Chaos\". On the mask that covers the mouth, text saying \"|LG|Chaos\" has been added. Sadly, the top mistake that people make with text was made: It does not appear to be a part of the skin, no blending or anything. Instead, it sticks out like Jar Jar at a Star Trek convention.
I have, though, seen much worse. The color choices of the text fit well enough, and the recoloring was done cleanly. The only thing to suggest to the author would be to try to do more to it, and try to find a way to make the text look a bit more natural on the skin.

things:
- Some sort of angry crusader
- Starcraft Templars with the shadowed faces and the flaring red eyes
- Scything the Crusades in the face(Yes I said I thought of two. This one was implied so SILENCE!)
This Reborn Twin reskin seems to blend both ideas together strangely enough. Whether the author had this in mind, I\'ve no idea. Regardless, the attire was quite marvelous. It had a divine elegance to it that makes it seem like that of a crusader. The face, however, was a swing and a miss. The face was pitch black, but the eyes were basically just a simple red and some odd mess running down them. What this is, scholars cannot reach a consensus upon. Regardless, I personally believe that the plainness of the eyes detract from the effect of the skin. Slap a glowing shader on the eyes, and I think you\'d have achieved victory =_,=.

fact what it first reminded me of was a rancor where some little kid had drawn on it with Mommy\'s lip stick. Perhaps I\'m being a bit extreme with that comparison (hopefully Mommy isn\'t wearing that shade of red) but it does look more like it has been drawn on than that it has been injured in some way.
To make things short, it looks nothing like blood. Does that make it not worth downloading or looking at? Not necessarily. Just because it doesn\'t look like blood doesn\'t mean it doesn\'t look cool. *I* don\'t think it looks cool, but I can more than see how some people might because my second opinion is, while it looks nothing like blood, it [i]is[/i] somewhat reminiscent of tattooing. Plus the one part I [i]do[/i] think looks cool is the green around the mouth, giving the rancor a slobbery/toxic look. Give it a look in case you\'re curious or interested in a new rancor look.

reviews?
Well I\'ve got great news! No, I\'ll still ask questions as I please, that isnt the great news. The great news is that this file here is a camouflage covered rebel!
Sadly, it is not as well done as I would have hoped. It looks as if a camouflage texture was slapped on the skin, a rank image pasted on the arm, without thought of cutting the white background on it out, the gloves paintbucketed black, and everything else left the same. Because of how this was done, it all looks flat. Parts of the texture seems a bit stretched also... On top of that, I was having problems getting it to work properly... The bottom part of the coat on the rebel showed up as a normal rebel instead of anything reskinned. That might be an error with the .skin file, but I am not completely sure.
Red and blue skins seem to have been included, but they appear to be the original Rebel skins for the teams. Sorta makes me wonder why it was included at all.
So... If another version were to be made, the author should keep in mind the following things: 1) Copy/pasting images rarely works alone, you have to do more to make it fit in, 2) paintbucketing never looks good, and 3) always check to make sure things work right before sending it off, as it can be quite frustrating to not check and have whoever gets the file to find the problem and point it out for all to see.

The shirt is a dull gray with a strap going across it. It has a nice touch, giving a utilitarian look to it. The pants are merely black. I rather like the cuffs of the shirt and the belt. They look \"sithly\" I supppose, but they remind me more of the Drow =_,= and how I stomped them under my boots.
An NPC was brought with this file, but it would seem that it used the old version of the skin. I think the only suggestion for this file is to look into using a shader to making the red eyes glow. That and perhaps some team skins. Other than that, a fine job on your part.

unoriginal but yet so deliciously amusing at the same time.
Unfortunately, this skin we've been presented is not very ninjaly. A reborn recolor with a gray shirt and what almost looked like a dark blue for pants. those horrid things the reborn call shoes are not even changed. Rather plain and simple job. It even overwrites the default reborn.
It's not visually atrocious. I would just suggest maybe a little more work. Reskins typically > recolors

I was too lazy to switch off the TV after The Simpsons. Ahh, the good ol' days when BBC2 was a prime source of entertainment at 6pm...
Erm, sorry. My point is that I can't claim to know [i]jack[/i] about TOS aside from the names of the lead characters and the fact that William Shatner played Captain Kirk. Ask me the technical specifications of an Akira Class starship, and I can probably provide, but ask me the first thing about the TV series and it's like water flowing over a duck's head.
So, before starting this review I went out and did some research on exactly what a Federation officer's uniform looked like in TOS. What did I find?
Accuracy = full marks. The uniform has the right elements in the right place (except for the boots - those really needed redoing from scratch, the Imperial's boots aren't all that good). Now, the face has been reskinned excellently. It's not that it's been skinned into something different - it's still Galak's face - but rather than creating from new, Aurocastro has almost seamlessly reworked Galak's features to look like a typical generic Federation officer.
I did have gripes, mostly with the skinning technique used on the uniform. Firstly, the textures themselves are rather sub-par - you can tell what they're meant to look like, and they do resemble it, they just have little detail to the point of looking plain and cartoonish. More detail is needed, and it needs to look a bit more "realistic" in the graphical style presented by the Q3 engine, since as it is, it looks very much out-of-place in the game.
Also, as you can clearly see in the screenshots, some elements are badly placed. For instance, the band over the right arm. It looks too big, actually, but like I said, I don't have the background knowledge. I can say for certain though that it's placement makes the skin look dodgy during animations. The second component to suffer from this is the rank... pin... chest... thingy... communicator! There, got it eventually. The communicator does look [i]far[/i] too big compared to the screenshots I found, and again it's placement is dodgy - it's wrapped arounda quarter of his torso, rather than being just a small pin attached to the front of the shirt.
Still, for a first version, this is pretty good. It could use some improvement in the ways of skinning technique, but hey, it's not like it can't be reworked later. I'd say the author should release another version of this taking into account the slight errors.
Not one to miss if you're a Star Trek fan.

what’s been added? Now the base of the model is mainly gray, and brown has been painted onto the model in places, scratches have been added, along with a few things. Firstly, I thought stormtroopers liked clean armor, and if they were commandos, wouldn’t they just have black armor, or have a personal cloaking device of sorts? *Thinks about shadowtroopers* Anyways, how did the author not really pay attention towards making the skin look complete? Simple – he didn’t edit the entire skin. The midriff area in the front looks untouched, as well as part of the upper arms. Now, if I was making a skin, I would want it to look complete, and not three-fourths done.
New Sounds: Not really no. The author has just edited the default sounds a little bit.

blond haired Human Male Jaden model, darken the clothes til they are black. Then, add images on the legs and back with a glow to them, and a name of the author of this file on the back. What you would have is this personal skin of Cry4Pxls. The glow on the images put on the legs and back give it a more 3d look than if they had just been pasted on with no thought of where it was going. The darkening went well on the skin, though I thought the gloves and bottom of the coat were a bit too dark. The only real mistake I saw was with the text on the back, which appears to have been just thrown on there from a distance, but up close you can see a bit of glow and it looks a little better. Team support has also been included, but only the glow on the images is changed, blue for the blue team and red for the red team.
Though not much was done to it, it does not look bad at all. In fact, if not for the name on it, I am sure I would find myself using this as a replacement for the original skin. So what can be improved on here? Well, something could be done with the head also... Mebbe some new textures instead of edited ones, also. And, of course, the text. Text on skins seems to rarely work out well.
So you know the drill, give this a download if you like.

paintbucket it various random colors, and reapply it, and this is what you would get. The author says the skin looks like it was imagined by a young child, but I am sure that children have much more imagination than that, even today's youth who don't expand their imagination because they are too busy letting games imagine for them.
There are some problems I have with the skin, besides the fact that I think it's ... First off, the color leaks into part of the hood on the inside where it should be black, which makes it look odd. There's a very noticeable and bad looking seam in the back. Bits of the original skin poke through, which does not fit in at all.
Somehow I doubt that this was ever meant to do well at all, but it was sent in anyway. Give it a download if you are into this kind of thing...

the same. Fortunately, I was wrong. This one is not that bad. It is a simple one though.
Take Desann, turn his clothes and armor gold, and change his head to slightly resemble an eagle, and this is what you would get. The clothing part wouldn't be too hard to do, but the head would take a bit of work to look decent. It appears that an image was photosourced for this skin, but I could be wrong... It's a bit blurry, but not that noticable unless you look at it up close like I have.
Unfortunately no extras were included except for team support, but only the 'beak' was changed for them, and they have only been changed to a bright red or blue which does not look that great.
To be honest, it isn't bad, but it needs some more work, more done to it. Give it a download if you are interested.

changing of the hair color. Unfortunately the shader was not changed to apply to [i]this[/i] model so it does not work properly, leaving the hair as square planes rather than alphaed hair. There are also no new sounds, so the model simply sounds like male Jaden. Team versions seem to be default for red, and a blue flamed version for the blue team. A simple yet effective skin. The blue team version and the shader could be tweaked for a version two, but other than that it seems to accomplish what it attempts to.

there is one slight thing... You cant mix and match colors, what color you choose for the head is what you get for the whole thing.
Besides that, all I can really say is that it needs more to it. After all, you can use the model ingame without this file, so there is not much point to it, especially since you cant mix the colors.

Master in person, but I'm certain that they do not wear ninja masks very often. The outfit's texturing was a little poor, primarily in the "black" regions where I'm not even quite sure what's supposed to be there. It reminded me of a swastika when looking at the texture itself. Maybe I'm just imagining crap, but there's definitely a little too much thickness of the lines there.
Couple this with random useless files in the pk3 to up the size, no sounds, and no real teamskins, I daresay the author should have attempted to hone their technique before re-emerging into the modding community. I know you say you've been out of it for a while and I will not shun your attempt, but I don't think you honestly wanted to make a comeback in this fashion. I'd suggest a version 2 in the future. The skin is not that totally bad; it's just not very visually appealing right now. Tweak and tune it, and I believe it'll have promise.

this small, “Kyle Color Skin Pack”, the author just did changed the color channels so everything was blue, green, and purple. On one of the skins the blue is much brighter than the other skins. But really all that was done is the color channels were changed on the clothes. I could do it probably in less than ten minutes. That’s just the colors, though. What the author should do is create a variation of the Kyle skin, where parts of Kyle’s outfit are turned different colors, instead of doing it for the entire thing. Meh. If it’s your thing, then download away.[/quote]~Inyri

last version besides the model, there's Inyri's review of the original skin:
[quote]So let me get this off my chest before I begin. I'm not a Spider-Man fan. I've seen the movies, sure, but beyond that, nada. I can, however, use Google Image search just as good as the next person. My final answer: this Carnage skin is decent. It could be better, naturally, as can anything on this site, but for what it is I think it achieves its goals fairly well.
I'm going to break this down into pros and cons. Let's start with the pro's though. Firstly, this skin has the right color scheme. Sounds silly that I would mention that, doesn't it? Well trust me, you'd be surprised... The fact that the author got the right colors here is a great start! In addition to this, the author has given conscious thought to (a) the shape of the character (by choosing the shadowtrooper model) and (b) the relationship between the red body and the black hilighting of the character.
Another good pro to mention is that custom sounds were included, all googled from... google. I was going to list these as a con, because I think they sound silly, but since I'm here to judge the mod and not the character, they will remain a pro. And of course the face is there... what would Carnage be without his crazy face?
On to the cons, during which I will include my own suggestions on improving this skin. Con number one: the model. I know it looks like I listed it as a pro, but it was more the thought of it that was the pro. The actual model has the right basic shape to be Carnage, but it's far too segmented. It looks like armor... which it is. The first model I thought of that might make a good replacement was the Grayfox model. I'll admit it's been a while since I've had time to take a close look at it, so it may not fit either, but it's food for thought anyway. Although that model does come with its own set of problems.
My second con was the black hilighting. This again is like the model. It's good that the author recognized it needed to be there, but it's far too random to really be what Carnage displays, which is a definite hilighting of the musculature and body, and not nearly so random as the author has made it. A little more attention to this could create a really awesome effect.
The last thing I really wanted to mention was the red bit, and this is minor. I understand the author has used a very simple filter to create the effect, but I did want to mention that, from my stint on google image search, Carnage's skin looked far smoother than this particular skin shows it to be. A little bit of a blur on this filter might smooth it out a little.
Phew, a bit long winded tonight. Overall I'd say it's a good attempt at Carnage, from Spider-Man, and with a little tweaking (and maybe a new model choice) a version two could be a very successful improvement on this. In the mean time, though, this particular skin seems like it should do fairly well as a Carnage option, for the fans.
~Inyri[/quote]
When I look at this skin, I see a red skin with a bunch of black lines and a filter put on it. The eyes and teeth appear to be paintbucketed also. It does, though, resemble the character it is based on, though not as much as I would have liked, judging from images I found using Google...
Anyway, if you liked the first version but thought it needed a different model, give this a download.

at what was supposed to be there before I fixed this file\'s .skin,(which, note to the author, was the problem =_=) I probably would have fled the country. I\'ll be honest and say this: I hardly know what rugby is even after a research session, but the outfit is enough to make me stop searching. We have a shirt, shorts, and a weird helmet. Follow the next paragraph to hear the best part!
This all was applied to a New Reborn! JOYOUS AND HAPPY DAYS....not really. The author merely skinned over it haphazardly. The result reminded me of MS Paint Pop-eye because of those massive forearms. The skinning job itself turned out barely okay, despite the program used, but I don\'t think anyone has forearms the size of pop-eyes unless they just came out of my alchemical lab. If that were the case, then I\'d look the other way =_,=.
Overall, it portrays a rubgy(yes I said rubgy. Silence..I don\'t intend to fix it.)player, but a very steroid-infused one. At least he won\'t feel as much pain when one of his massive forearms is sawed off. My biggest suggestion is probably refraining from MS Paint next time.

Fair, but not impressive. I won't say it's bad or anything. I just think he could have done a little more to it.
Other than that, the only thing to mention is to the author(and vicariously to future submitters): PLEASE do not submit 20+ screenshots for one skin. I know you yourself may love what you did with it, but including them in the .rar was unnecessary, and these stats said enough:
[B]Before Pic Removal[/B]: 4.52 MB
[B]After Pic Removal[/B]: 893 KB
3 or 4 pictures is enough, especially for a skin like this.
Other than that fiasco, there's not much left. A blue variant for team play was inserted, and red team is assumably just the default. My only suggestion remains that you do something more to it to make it more. Anything, really. Change the red color, set his eyes on fire, hack his arms off. Whatever that would make it seem more unique.

to be sure. The face, however, isn't black. Some funky filters have been applied to it, though, so it doesn't really look like skin anymore. The eyes are also a bright red color. So if you're looking for yet another black reborn skin, have at it!

burns places on the legs and arms. Then there is what looks like some blood on the tops of the fingers. Last but not least, "kick ass" is written on the back, which single-handedly ruins this skin for me. Otherwise I'd have said it's simple, but effective. With the silly phrase written on the back, though, it loses a lot of its credibility as a serious skin.
In addition to the skin additions, NPC support has been included. As opposed to regular stormtroopers, which have 30 health, this stormtrooper has 200 health. A couple of other things have been included, such as the addition of a limited amount of Force powers (push, pull, and lightning) and a few other minor statistical changes that you probably won't notice the effects of. More changes are promised in the future, so hopefully in the next version that text will be removed. I personally think it would make for an infinitely better skin.

standards we tend to expect, but that\'s not to say it\'s inherently bad.
Well, as you\'d guessed, the skin is a reskin of the Jedi model intended to be a karate instructor. It\'s pretty much what you\'d expect, the outfit is a typical karate outfit. The logos on the arms are a flag for some country, but I forget which one; sorry, I can\'t remember *every* flag out there. =/
Critical points I\'d like to raise start with the flat coloration. Yep, it\'s flat colors, with very little (if any) texturing. Sure, maybe it\'s not for sure that people would notice in-game, but those with higher settings definitely would at mid-range, and it kind of spoils the overall product knowing that it\'s basically a dude with layers of paintbucket slapped on. :o
Another point is the flow between the textures. You can visibly see where different texture components seam up against each other, and that again detracts from the overall quality.
Next point - many unnecessary files are included in here. The [b]entire[/b] contents of the Jedi model folder are included, rather than just the modified files. This is something which shouldn\'t have been done - it just boosts filesize unnecessarily, making it harder for those with slower connections to download the file. Always, always clear out any unnecessary files from your mod\'s assets before releasing your work.
The final thing I\'d like to criticise is the overall brightness of the skin. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Real clothing wouldn\'t be at the extreme ends of the spectrum, it\'s not shiny and certainly not made of reflective spandex. Chrome plating is shiny, but cotton is not. In future, try and consider realism for your products as well - maybe it doesn\'t *always* matter too much for the overall quality, but it certainly helps you refine your technique, and the more practice/experience you get, the better.
Overall, it\'s a decent idea, but the skin sadly isn\'t up to par. It just needs more work, that\'s all, and the author should certainly practice hard and refine their abilities. Gaara2450 is already showing promise in the fact that he didn\'t just \"wing it\". He went in knowing what he wanted to create, and focused on accomplishing that result rather than trying to accomplish everything in one uber-file, which is a mistake made by far too many newer (and even experienced) modders.
While this skin could use more work, it\'s still good enough to be usable, so if you want something of this type, give it a download.

paint, etc. Well, that doesn't really happen (I hope!) but in the realm of Star Wars, why not? This author has done just that, to our resident hero Kyle Katarn. A piece of notebook paper has been taped to his back with [b]kick me[/b] in bold red lettering added.
Biggest con here is that this skin replaces the default Kyle. Otherwise it's one of those not very complicated skins that just happens to make you chuckle a bit when you see it. Some of you who don't much like Kyle might want to give this one a brief playthrough, just for humor's sake.

example, the textures on the face do not line up well with the rest of the head. Some things are also missing, such as the tatoo on the left arm, the thing that the character wears on his left shoulder (Haven\'t got a clue what it is since I haven\'t seen the show in so many years) and the rings around the left boot. Of course, the rings around the left boot and the thing on the left shoulder are also model problems from what I could tell.
That being said, the reskin is quite a nice one, though missing the few pieces. It is not paintbucketed, and it does resemble the character as intended. The only thing I can really suggest to the author is to try to make sure all the textures line up properly next time.

seeing as the world does not revolve around my opinions,(yet =_,=) I will drop that subject and present to you the LARGE CHUNKY BIKER LORD.
So, what is it? Quite simple =_= A Rax Joris reskin with black jacket and pants and a white shirt. Believe it or not, Rax Joris is perfect for this reskin believe it or not. He has this glazed over look and, despite the fact a whole soundset would be better, his voice sounds like it could barely make it in a biker gang.(Barely =_=) This skin took a little time to let out because I was a little concerned with the fiendish GTA Fist on the back of his jacket. In the end, I gave him the benefit of the doubt, seeing as it was easy to acquire.
Overall, it's not really bad. I still think sounds and perhaps team skins would complete this package, but seeing as this is the author's first skin, double benefit of the doubt. You should be glad I granted you such mercy. To do such on other circumstances would result in me having to cast you into the abyss and then casting the abyss I threw you into into the abyss.

with color, but it doesn’t look much like him.
To start with the face…the author just took an existing face texture, desaturated it, then drew black lines on it for the mask. Then there are the robes and cape. They’re green, all right. But when I look at a picture of Dr. Doom from the comic, only the tunic and cape were green. The arms weren’t. And as for the rest of the skin, it’s supposed to look like his Battle Armor, but it really just looks like the author turned it all gray. More definition in this skin is needed, and more work. But then again, many people don’t care about accuracy. So download this if you like it.

you don't make them fit!
Okay. So the author made almost everything tan. I don't see how that makes the skin tuskany. Okay, the cloth on the chest play was a nice try, but things like that don't work unless you have it continue off of the chest plate. Another thing, the plainness of the retexturing takes away all the depth that the original skinning gave it. And please, please don't reskin things to be a solid color! And please, don't have the same texture all over the body, it just doesn't look like it took that much energy.
Okay, the other thing is, is that this replaces the stormtrooper. That's right, it replaces the default stormtrooper. While the default stormtrooper isn't all that great, model-wise, I don't think that it should be replaced by this.
May I remind everyone to please do not include the _humanoid folder in your file, as it only makes it bigger and will be deleted anyways.

seams aren\'t clean. At all. However unless you\'re trying to look up his shorts or paying attention to the fact that the lines from his chest don\'t meet up with the lines on his back, it\'s not that noticible.
The shader on this skin looks very good. It gives it a nice shiny effect, which really works well on this particular model. While some new sounds really would have completed the skin, this one isn\'t too bad at all and would likely make a good addition to any collection. The little NYPD badge on the skin adds a bit of detail that, while not easily seen from a distance, really shows an interest in making this skin unique.
I should, however, mention that when I was testing this skin out I noticed it really screwed up some of my other mods - I\'m assuming something to do with their shaders - so there may possibly be conflicts in your base folder if you use this skin. Then again it could just be me, so try it out before you condemn it ;)

choises.
Most of the skin is simply, but elegantly skinned. The parts where there’s actually a pattern are the arms and the legs. But, as with many of Cable’s skins, it’s nicely done. Whenever you have a different color on the arms or legs, then the color in the pattern is a nice contrast, so you can always see the difference in the skin. There was one small thing that bothered me, and it was the belt. It stays the same when everything else changes. But that’s really only a small concern, and not that important. But other than that, this skin looks really nice, and it has Sp support, since it’s an add-on for the Male Jedi model.

you? I recently respecialized my warlock into affliction, which makes him really great for player versus player combat. Oh wait, I’m not supposed to talk about World of Warcraft. (remember kids, Make Love, not Warcraft ;) ) Anyways, onto the skin.
It’s a Jaden reskin, and it looks well done. Basically the author took the white Twi’lek skin, and changed the clothes so that it’s a black and jade coloring. There is nice jade embroidery on parts of the skin, and what looks like nice jade metalworking (or something like that). Basically the jade look was well done, and deserves a looking at. Oh, one little cool thing is that the author made a metal and jade arm-band-thingy. I call it an arm-band-thingy because I’m not sure if it’s a decoration, or if it’s how an artificial hand is attached, or whatnot. I just think it looks pretty cool.
I did notice a small issue with the skin, and that’s the facial area under the lips (which have been turned a jade color). What’s the problem? There’s no coloring. Well, there [i]is[/i] coloring, but it’s a solid color. Anyways, it certainly looks like the author made a nice effort into this, so you should check it out.
Oh, another thing, I noticed a default3 skin file, and when I select that, I get something really strange that basically makes the skin not work (meaning it makes things misaligned, and stuff like that). But never fear! It has no icon, so you won’t be able to select it from your menu. But it would’ve been nicer if that one small detail had been removed. But it’s really nothing.

reborn. A _____ reborn reskin.
It seems that a normal reborn was taken, and desaturated. But that isn't the end... The shirt and pants have been darkened to almost pure blackness, while the gloves, belt, torso armor, hood, and armor on the legs have been brightened to be white. The hood has also had a pentagram added onto it. As if that weren't enough, a bunch of dots were placed all over the model, but it certainly does not look bad.
It also comes with many features, such as NPC support, Bot support, and team skins. Sounds were included, but they are just the sounds of one of the jedi from JA.
All in all, not a bad reskin, but it could use to have more done to it to make it stand out a little more. :p

of it certainly are a bit boring, other parts to have a bit of intrigue concerning the way the colors are mixed together. Team skins are included, but they're really just the original Jedi trainer team colors. For a recolor it's certainly not bad, but it does lack a certain level of interest and creativity which most downloaders find essential in any skin. However if you're a fan of the Jedi trainer, and the colors red and blue, this might be right up your alley.

fixed the team skins. The inner cap still remains invisible. Most irritating, but not enough for me to explode and go on my usual rampage of damaging and destruction.
The only beef with this version I have is the new sound choice. Why obi-wan? Obi-wan irritates me due to his character\'s close-mindedness. A fire should be set to his home. I know exactly who can do it =_,= Either way, I don\'t think Obi-wan fits a desert character. I would suggest clips from the Dune Movie if you can scrounge some up. Jamis, Stilgar, maybe even Paul if you\'re that desperate. The latest movie would pry be the best route XD.
Regardless, the only real fix that\'s necessary is the inner hood still. My suggestion would be to pack the fremen skin separately, then clear out any traces in the resources you used. That way, you too can see it, and think of a method to overcome it. I know it\'s possible.

know how that’s supposed to be, but the skinning work on this is nicely done.
It appears that most of the model has been reskinned, and is now either a very light gray body suit with red striping, or black (or blackish orange) with striping of different colors. There are different colors of stripes, as said before, and I think that they all look nice – except the white one. I don’t know if it’s because white doesn’t look too great in Jedi Academy, or white stands out if you’re trying to be sneaky, but it just looks wrong to me. But all the other versions look very nice. What can be added to this? Have all the skins in one folder, with red/blue team support. Anyways, you should try this out!

others, darkened to the point of near-solid blackness. Other parts, such as the coat and mask, have been left white. Why a night trooper would wear white, I am unsure. It seems to me that a night trooper might want to wear dark colors, to blend in a little more with the dark surroundings.
Anyway, not a bad reskin, really, but more could have been done to it. Maybe if the parts that were almost solid black, such as the helmet and backpack, were lightened a bit, it would look a bit better... And maybe darkening the coat and mask also.

can see. Some parts on it were changed to a blue color, and the eyes turned blue on the outside and white in the middle. The face has what is supposed to be ancient tribal markings in the form of a bunch of blue lines.
Besides that, I couldn't find any other changes. The ones that have been made were well done, not just a paintbucketed reskin like some people tend to make.
Next time I'd suggest mainly doing more to it. Try to create something new, instead of just changing what is already there a little bit. Trust me, work pays off.

I jest, however. What we're given is a simple Dante reskin of the dante model. Not black as in paintbucket, but the clothes and hair have been turned black. There is an icon of what looked like a dragon on the back, but it's not a shadow dragon. Could this mean that the Collective could have a rival =_=? ....>_>

Samurai(v2) reskin to resemble Cid from FF7, a Dante reskin to resemble Rufus from FF7, and some sounds for Yuffie for Midgar V3.
First things first, Cid. It\'s got the basic look of Cid from Advent Children down, but It is not that well done. The shirt, shoes, and part of the gloves appear to have been paintbucketed. The ribbon on the arm doesnt line up with itself where the texture wraps around. The pants are of a much higher quality, though I suspect that they are just recolored from the original model, and maybe rearranged. I could not tell enough from the screenshots of the original model\'s skin. The belt is also not another paintbucket job, but it seems close. It seems as if it was, and it had a texture thrown on it, then some areas lightened. Not bad, but not the best. Another problem this thing has is that the hair texture do not line up. There are also some quite noticable color differences between the neck, ears, nose, and face. Speaking of the face... I hate it. It is stuck in a rather annoying grin that doesnt even line up with the mouth. The cheeks are too pink to really fit the rest of the skin.
Next up, Rufus. A dante reskin, as I already said, and a pretty basic one at that. The hair has been turned blond, and shortened in the front a bit. The clothes have been turned white, with the exception of the vest in front, which remains black. The hands are a solid color mostly, with a dark patch, so it looks like the gloves have been tanned on. Underneath the vest is a bit of new skinning, to make it more like Rufus. Done well enough, but the skin tone doesnt match the neck.
Finally, the Yuffie sounds. I do not have Midgar V3 on this computer right now, and I dont have the time to download it again, so I cant tell if it works or not. I can, however, comment on the sounds in there. They are sounds taken from the Japanese version of Advent Children, directly ripped from the sounds of them. There has been little, if any editing, so there is the background noise, which takes away from it.
So, overall... Not a very high quality pack here, but a good base to start on. I\'d love to see another version with a highly improved Cid in it, and maybe some editing of the Yuffie sounds.

create a great skin. This, for instance, really has no similarity to a zombie other than that zombies are usually pale and have some blood on them. This, however, is grey and red, not pale and bloody. All in all, it\'s yet another reborn reskin without much of a theme to back it up, and the interest level is low. I would recommend for future skins to really know what you want to make before you start, rather than just coming up with something as you go. Spontaneity can be great, but it can also result in a real bore of a skin.

The brushing is very simple, but somehow quite effective. There is one huge problem I have with this skin, though, and I didn\'t actually notice it until I really began to look at the skin with a critical eye. It uses shadowtrooper textures... [i]and they don\'t fit on the model![/i] This shouldn\'t a surprise, seeing as how the shadowtrooper and the reborn new look nothing alike. A lot of JKA models share a base model, but the reborn new is quite unique. The author seems to have just put the textures on as-is, either not realizing that the skinmaps don\'t match up, or not caring. What I would guess is that first he didn\'t know, then he saw it and didn\'t care, because from a distance it still looks cool.
I\'m a little more picky with my skins, though. I don\'t like to see the torso being on the arm, or the arms being on the torso, or whatever else inbetween is on this skin. The bottom line, though, is that it looks alright if you don\'t look to closely. If you do look closely, it really just looks like things are minorly misaligned, so whether or not this seemingly large skinning miscalculation bothers you is up to your personal taste. If you don\'t care, give it a download anyway. No harm, right?

the edges of the chunk used are not feathered, so there are hard lines every time the texture repeats. From a distance it's hard to tell, but up close it's quite easy to see. The pants also seem to have been lightened, and for some reason the hair has been colored jet black on the head texture, but on the face texture it remains its normal brown. It seems very little, if anything, else has been changed. Team colors have been included, but they're just the default Jedi team colors.

doesn’t look too bad. Sure, the model doesn’t exactly fit, there are texture overlaps in some areas, and the author would have done a better job if he had actually reskinned the model…but it’s somewhat decent. But the author could at least have filled in the back plate of the stormtrooper! You know that one small area where it’s sunken in and it’s where the respiratory systems of the armor lies? Yeah. Part of that is black…and the author did nothing about it. Nothing at all. And while looking at this skin in-game, many parts were stretched, and crooked, and so, it makes me think the author just did this in a slipshod way. What the author should do is take the time and skin this instead of using someone else’s textures.

an overpowered NPC component. It is meant to help you train. Now I\'ve never tried training with an NPC, but as far as AI goes, even the best AI can never fully prepare you for a sparring match with a human being. Why? Humans are unpredictible. Eventually, any AI bot or NPC in a game is going to become easy to beat, simply because you\'ll be able to anticipate their actions. So my advice would be if you really want to learn to play well... go play! Find a flesh-and-blood person to learn from. An NPC or bot can\'t really teach you anything beyond \"dodge here to avoid being sabered in the head\".
The skin itself is very typical. It seems to be a shadowtrooper, recolored to be a medium shade of blue, with some strange green trim, as if the author simply took an image, pasted it over, and then deleted the portions that were supposed to be blue. The design doesn\'t actually follow the orientation of the skinmap. It\'s really not too bad on the eyes, though I would not have used a red visor, as it clashes badly with the rest of the skin. The only other bug is the bot support, which has been made incorrectly and will likely cause conflicts with any other bots you may have. Keep that in mind if you\'re a heavy bot user.
The sounds seem to be custom made, probably by the author. It seems, however, that the author was in a playful mood and felt the need to heavily edit each sound, giving the death sounds strange pitch effects, and giving the normal speaking sounds the distict sense that a younger boy recorded them and lowered the pitch, rather than giving the sense that an adult spoke the lines. Perhaps if the pitch had not been lowered quite so far they would sound a bit more realistic. Often the difference between just enough and far too much is no more than a hair\'s breadth wide.

composed of mainly solid colors, and there’s little texture editing with the exception of replacing everything with solid tones. The model has no skinned on nose, so it looks like a slightly roasted Michael Jackson with brown hair. But seriously, if someone wants something to get praise instead of harsh criticism, then they should try, instead of just using solid tones. My advice is to find a picture, and try recreating it, and also to use photoshop tutorials.

previous two reviews, as well as some comments by me.

Since this is version three of the Nepharian Grevious, and only a few things have been changed, I\'ll just post Elegos\'s review.
[quote]
________________________________________
Well, here we have a very cool skin. It\'s not often we see a grevious reskin (well i\'ve not seen many). What the author has done is change grevious to have black and red colours, which look very good. It has bright red markings all over the body that don\'t seem to be randomly placed at all. The author obviously put some time into this skin. I personally think it looks better like this in comparison to the original, but then I don\'t like grevious. Fantastic job here!
Team skins, however, are a little disappointing as the red skin just makes the robe brown and the blue skin changes nothing, but at least you can use it in Team games I guess. Unfortunately if you don\'t have the grevious model installed you\'ll hear kyle\'s taunts. As the author included the grevious taunt folders but didn\'t put the taunts in it! Next version put the taunts in there and that\'ll make everyone happy.[/quote]
________________________________________
All that has been changed in this version is that there now are different team skins, and the Grievous sounds folder has been included for those who don\'t have the Grievous model. Looks pretty cool.[/quote]
Now for my comments….muahah. I was just looking at this skin…and I wondered why only part of it was recolored to be red and black? Is Nepharian lazy? Did he run out of paint? I just think that it’d be so much cooler if the entire skin was red and black. But that’s me. The author can do whatever he wants….just as long as he stays away from murlocs.

interesting concept behind it. It’s supposed to be Kyle in around ten years…and what about the clothes, you ask. Well, apparently Kyle was taking a bath and Rosh (or some sadistic sith) took his clothes and burned them. And since Kyle never changes his clothes, he had to go and get some old Jedi robes, and his dad’s old boots. (Which I’m pretty sure were on another planet, in Kyle’s dad’s house. Oh well.
So, now Kyle has Jedi robes, at least he wants to. The author made a good starting effort with the robes, because he has the two parts that look different. Now, he just needs to experiment with shadows, blending. Or just try to remake robes. The hair of the skin is also grey, so that Kyle looks older. There are also wrinkles on Kyle’s head. While they may be lines in essence, they don’t look too bad. The arms of the skin don’t really match to torso, so that’s one part of the skin I’d look on making match. But the big thing here is whether the author is satisfied with it. It could certainly use improvement, but it’s not all that bad.[/quote]
Since the previous version, the face has had more wrinkles put on to it, the hair made to look more gray, and the gloves have been darkened. The changes to this skin are simple ones, yet help achieve the desired effect.

of it wanted a dark jawa skin, so he decided to make one. Basically he has made the jawa solid black, with the hands being the exception. For the hands the author took the Jawa eye texture and repeated it a couple times. Now the hands look white and yellowish. More things could have been done to this skin other than turning the body black. I mean, well, more besides adding rancor sounds could have been done. The jawa eye shader wasn’t even edited, so the eyes don’t glow. But more definitely could have been done for this skin, maybe not blackening out the whole thing, maybe putting blood on the robes to give it a darker, eviler look. There are a number of things that could have been done. Meh. If you like it, then download it.
[/quote]
The changes that have been done are as follows: The author made the eyes ‘amazing’, which just means he painted red around the edges and used the blur tool to give them a more ‘fiery’ look, or so I think. The other change is that the hand texture is basically just the regular lava texture. That’s it. Improved? That’s for you to decide.

haven’t been blacked out have been replaced with what looks like a lava-ish texture. While that may not look bad, it’s not exactly pleasing to the eye. First of all because it’s dark, almost as if someone turned down the brightness of my monitor, however that’s not the case. The skin could be brightened up a bit, and more detail put into it. How easy is it to turn something plain black and replace a texture with something else instead of making your own? Well, once you find the texture you want to replace something with it’s not very hard. And with that mainly being the case in this skin it seems like a lack of effort. Oh well. But one big thing that this could of used is a pulsating lava shader for the lava-ish parts of the body. There are team skins with this, and they are mainly color variations of this one, with some brightness and texture differences.
I found the sound on this skin strange. It’s got rancor AND Palpatine sounds. How much sense does that make? Oh well. It doesn’t have to make sense. Meh. If you like it, download it. As for me, I’m going to hunt Kodos.

added Imperial insignias to each of the arms, and tried to make them look beaten.
On the beaten insignia bit, the author has partially succeeded, but he might try putting dirt/ketchup/whatever stains in the area of the insignia, and on the shirt as well, since we all probably can surmise that Rax isn’t a neat eater. One small detail that I did notice with this skin is that the coat on the torso didn’t match the arms….it was just strange. So you have dark arms and legs for the skin but a normal torso. That small lack of detail made me kind of sad. Oh well, there’s always a V3. But the main thing the author should do is just use his imagination.
I have one small request to the author – please don’t send in BMP’s when doing screenshots. I have to convert them to JPG, which is smaller, and easier to send. It’s also the format our screenshot system uses.
The author has also included a Rax Joris overwrite, which is optional. He basically has all the resources for his in that pk3. What the author can do there is just include the skin files, instead of all the textures, since the skin files will point to those textures in the other folder.

The skin itself doesn’t look bad at all, in fact it looks rather nice. One thing that the author wanted to do was figure out how to take Luke’s head and put it onto the Rebel Pilot model. Well that requires modeling, and modeling software such as GMAX can be used to do it. However! You cannot get the model in-game with GMAX. To do that you’ll have to find someone who is willing to weigh the model for you.
Anyways, my main gripe with this was the fact that Pilot Luke without his helmet had a skirt, but that’s a model issue. One other, small issue I had was the Rebel insignia on the helmeted version looked a little bright. That insignia was only painted once in a while, and should look beaten and worn.

channels so everything was blue, green, and purple. On one of the skins the blue is much brighter than the other skins. But really all that was done is the color channels were changed on the clothes. I could do it probably in less than ten minutes. That’s just the colors, though. What the author should do is create a variation of the Kyle skin, where parts of Kyle’s outfit are turned different colors, instead of doing it for the entire thing. Meh.

Firstly, the boots - they\'re still Star-Wars-y. Secondly, the hands are too flat and pasty. I can see that they\'re recolored Chiss hands, but really, a little more depth wouldn\'t have gone amiss. The face also looks... iffy.
At least the clothing is still textured, though, and considering this is based on the Chiss model, I\'d say it\'s a pretty good job. Was it [i]really[/i] necessary to paste the Santa logo and the word \"Elf\" across it, though?
Meh. For those wanting something seasonal, this is about as good as you\'ll get, so if you\'re in the market for this kind of thing you won\'t be disappointed with this skin.

[quote]Another day, another Reborn reskin. A first skin, too, big suprise. There really isnt much to say on this one.
It appears as if the reborn's clothes have been desaturated, and the robes turned brown. But there are still gray spots which don't look all that great. The boots appear to have been brightened also.
If nothing else, I can say this for this skin: it wasnt paintbucketed. But the amount of skill put into it is pretty much the same.
Try something more than just recoloring next time.[/quote]
Some of the gray spots have been fixed, but I still found some, mostly on the insides of his legs. Some more color has been added on the hood, arms, legs, and part of the robe in front. The eyes have been turned red, and black squiggles that I can only guess to be some sort of symbol has been added to the face. Bot support has also been included this time, which is a plus.
My only complaint, besides the already stated one of it just being a recolor, is that in some of the areas, such as the right arm, and the flap on the robe in front, the yellow runs a bit over into other parts. But, keep working with it. Practice makes perfect, if there is such a thing as a perfect skinner. :p

Anyways, there have been mostly subtle changes to the main skin. Parts have been darkened, blood has been added to the clothes as an after effect of the experiments, and there you go – Rax Joris is an evil scientist. The skinning wasn’t bad at all, although more creativity would have been appreciated. But it’s not bad for a first skin.

thinks of a nomad being in a sandy area, and where it’s sandy, it’s generally really sunny. So you would want a hood when traveling in the sun!
Anyways, the pants, and hood of the skin have been either left alone or darkened (I don’t know, I’m kind of tired). And the torso looks like some old, cracked, blackened leather. I don’t know what about it looks wrong…but it just looks wrong, but only a little bit. Oh! I know! It should have more creases around where a shirt would fold naturally, and the color of the shirt wouldn’t be black and white. Maybe if it was white.
The arms don’t look too bad, although the sleeves are abruptly and unevenly cut, and the muscles were indistinct. The muscles need to be distinct and not just shaded, but it’s just a minor detail with the skin. It doesn’t look too bad overall.

warn you it\'s not the biggest flare.
Let me just say that Movielou does what I do: he does photoshop touches that seem cool and harmless, but the result is just not that thrilling. I can relate simply because I\'ve done a couple reskins that way because I was satisfied with small changes. (As opposed to the rest of my peers, who seem to say \"ARA:RAHR:AH:GLAKHG:LQHG:LAHG:ALKHG:AHGA:G: COMPLETE OVERHAUL\") However, knowing that it would suck I never released them. Movielou did.
The skin\'s changes are ever so simple and arguably \"uncreative.\" I will list out for you what has happened to go from Kyle to this:
- Red Shirt
- Black head
- Red Eyes
The result is =_o probably not the intended effect. The eyes are virtually invisible due to a lack of a glowing shader. Otherwise, it\'s a very basic recolor. Will I condemn it? No, but I did encourage a little more creativity to the author.
Overall, a better attempt than his last skin. Much better O_o
P.S: In case you\'re wondering what his last skin is, he was responsible for producing GOTS Kyle, which in totality, received a ridiculous flame that even I shouldn\'t have really done. However, bygones are bygones now, thankfully.

While there are no anarchy symbols or pentagrams on this skin (thank god) it does make use of black, and that seems to be the only feature here that could possibly satisfy any description of "gothic." Most of the color seems to have been replaced with black, leaving only the metallic portions remaining. In fact there has even been some black painted opaquely onto the face, whose purpose I have not quite determined. I would have suggested eyebrow, other than the fact that it reaches quite a ways down the side of the nose. Overall I think I've had my fill of gothic skins, as none of them are very original, nor do they provide anything that hasn't already been put out in a dozen different ways.
No extras have been included with this skin: no team skins, no bot support, no NPC support. Overall if you've been dying for a black reborn, give this skin a whirl. Otherwise I do believe that it needs a little bit more than black paint to really make it a worthwhile download.

cutouts pasted onto the arms, legs, and torso. Eyes and hair have been colored to match. This skin suffers from what most reskins suffer from - lack of creativity syndrome. Very little original work has been done here: hair and eyes have been recolored, clothing has been recolored, and dragons have been pasted on. It's a quick job, probably thought up spur-of-the-moment, and it lacks any kind of artistic flair.
That said, this particular recolor doesn't seem to have been done sloppily. The author has "colored in the lines" and not sprayed blue paint all over everything. I only wish the dragon decals had been worked into the skin somehow rather than been opaquely pasted on top. Especially the one on the torso, which spans over two surfaces which are supposed to be raised (the white cloth parts). This lack of depth really takes away from the skin.
Now on to the extras. NPC and bot support seem to be added, and team colors have also been included (and as before, hair and eyes match the team colors). The sounds have also been changed, so thankfully you won't have to listen to Rosh's voice. You will, however, have to listen to Boba Fett's voice. I find that a bit odd, since Boba Fett's voice comes from beneath a helmet, and yet this skin has no helmet... perhaps he has a sore throat? In any case, give it a download if you're into dragons, or just happen to like blue. It's not one of the worst recolors to ever grace this site, so it might be worth a look-see for some of you!

menu video, some new sounds, a weapon from Inyri’s melee redux pack, and some other stuff. Now, why wouldn’t the author submit that stuff separately, instead of making you download it all at once? I sure don’t want a Digimon menu movie when all I wanted was a skin. Anyways, onto the skin.
It just appears that the main change to the skin was that the hue was changed. There are also three variations to the skin, the main difference between them is that the arm cushion thingies change color. However, the symbols on the legs don’t change either. It would have been more enjoyable if more things had been changed than just hue and color on one part. Anyways, I think that more could have been done with this, and that it definitely should have been packaged separately from the menu video, if only to cut the size down.

all, someone has to go down there! Biggest problem with the execution of this skin is it's trying to make an environmental effect on a flat texture. The entire reason there are environmental shaders are for this purpose - reflections [i]move[/i], and because they don't on this skin it looks more like someone heated up his plastic armor and swirled it around a bit, then let it cool and harden. An environmental shader would go immense lengths here to make this reflected look actually work for the model.
In this version we have also been graced with team skins, which basically turn the black underlying cloth bits blue or red, depending on which team you use. Sounds are included, but once again do not function because the sounds.cfg file is pointing to the wrong folder. NPC and bot support have also been included, but the bot support was created using bots.txt so it is very likely to screw up the rest of your bots. Keep in mind for the future that bots should be done using a .bot file and a .jkb personality file, not a .jkb and bots.txt.
Overall some good improvement, but to really pull off the look this author is looking for he will need to delve a bit farther into the land of shaders.

with flat colors pasted over it to make up it's outfit and lines carelessly painted on to represent tatoos. Those are the only differences I can see. Oh, and one version is just the default Hoth clothing.
Now, this needs a lot of work. First thing I can see wrong, is texturing, or rather the lack of it. If the outfit does have any texturing on, I sure can't see it even when looking closely (the only exception to this being the bandages on the arms). Secondly, blending. Both the outfit and 'tatoos' need blending onto the skin properly. Third, the product is just... bland. Far more could have been done with it.
I'm fairly sure this is a first skin, so forgiveness is at hand. However, it's sadly far from perfect.
Not bad for a first attempt, there have been far worse, but there have also been far better. If you play the game with the author and don't want to see Kyle, you'll probably need this. I just don't think there's much in it which will appeal to the average random downloader.

face, the robe has been made to close in higher on the neck, and reskinned to a red robe. The Noghri was given pants that end just below the knee, and all visible skin was recolored into a brownish-tan color. Included is a 'War Noghri' variant with some armor put on the torso and knees, though it's flat because of the model's lack of armor. :p
It's a pretty good reskin, and I do like it much better than the original. The only noticable things for me were the flatness of the armor, seeing the ridge of where the robe used to end, and the fact that the face seemed a little too detailed for the rest of the visible skin on the body. Of course, those are small and not really noticable ingame.
This is one that I recommend giving a download. :p

one of various Star Wars incendiary devices. I\'d bet on a trip mine, here. We could only wish Rosh stepped on one, eh? Well, let\'s imagine he did, shall we?
I believe the latest term for the \"decoration\" on this shadowtrooper is \'pink mist,\' if Grey\'s Anatomy is to be trusted. The shadowtrooper is covered from head to foot in what looks to be a sprayed type of blood, typical of an organic being violently dispersed by an explosive device. The blood effect itself is very neat, I will admit. It is (thank god) not a hideously bright and unrealistic shade of red, which a lot of people tend to think blood looks like.
The one thing I found curious was the distribution of the blood spatters. Now I know most of you couldn\'t care less if it looks cool (which I agree, it does), but I was trying to figure out where this guy had to be standing to have blood on him like that. It suddenly occured to me, naturally, that the author may not have had explosive means in mind when he made this, but rather just a \"put blood everywhere\" mentality, which is fine. My point is, though, that if we want to assume the blood actually came from somewhere... he must have been standing in the middle of a mine field. :p

barely see detail. Only when I went into the shade could I see the color. Strange, but true. The intended look was apparantly a night scout in a "watery" environment. Suffice to say, I don't quite think I could see this as thus.
My overall suggestions for this skin would be to de-blacken the completely black areas, lighten the skin up, and O_o fix the sounds. Yes, the sounds are not functioning due to the most elementary of errors. Yes, I could have fixed it myself, but since I believe you have other things to fix with this as well, I think I shall pass that to you =_,o
Still like it? Go on then, SUBMIT YOUR BANDWIDTH. There is, believe it or not, an npc to play with if anything.

would classify this one under that heading. It's definitely not strayed too far from Anakin Skywalker, but it is still an interesting subject in its own right. The skin contains three versions: unrobed, robed, and robed/hooded. The robe and the black portions of the clothing seem to have some strange text overlaid atop them. Not like clan tags, but more like the material itself is some kind of manuscript. An original that I've seen, as far as I know. The rest of the skin seems to favor a white and blue theme, and with the black it makes for excellent contrast. The white parts have more of a stone or dull metal feel to them, and actually look raised against the rough-looking blue cloth. The only bits that look a bit odd are the raised portions on the robe, which somehow still look flat. Well, you can't have everything.
There seem to be no real team skins - both are defined, but both are also the same as the default - and unfortunately there is no bot or NPC support. Sounds are defined, thankfully, so this guy won't sound like Jaden... but he [i]does[/i] sound like Rax Joris, which I found equally surprising, and honestly somewhat frightening. Anakin just doesn't look like he would sound like a heavy-set slobbish Imperial. But, since most of the sounds will never be heard in MP in baseJKA, I suppose debating it is a moot point, as the pain and death sounds really don't sound that much like Joris's speaking voice anyhow.
Overall a unique, though still very much Anakin reskin of what has become a very popular model. Not a straight recolor to be sure, so it may be worth downloading for some of you!

shader where the torso pulsates black and white, and the pants pulsate as well, only with different colors. The author says something about “Dynamic Glow Induced Skin”, but I turned Dynamic Glow off and back on, and I didn’t see anything different with the skin. This might not have been mentioned in the previous review, but Jan’s face and arms are now white, and the hair is kind of black. But otherwise, this skin does look strange. And if the author wants to make Jan look “corrupt”, then he might consider reskinning Jan’s face so that it looks wasted away, much like the faces in KotOR and KotOR II.

the idea, but unfortunately, the execution of the idea isn\'t the best out there. The pants appear to have been darkened to pure black with a yellow stripe down both sides. The boots were turned brown, the hands darkened to looks more like gloves. The shirt was turned to a pinkish red color, with a yellow strip on the right hand, and, last but not least, a little medal was placed on the shirt. Unfortunately, the placing of that medal causes it to stretch out in certain poses.
When viewing the skin, I personally don\'t immediately think of a Canadian Mountie. I more think of Lando with a new red shirt than that. It was a good try, but it doesn\'t quite fit.

So let's discuss, shall we? I would guess that at one point Cimanu and Undertone dressed the same, but that Undertone, being a diabolical Sith lord, tossed a red sock in with Cimanu's laundry, turning his white robes pink. Yes, Cimanu is dressed in pink. Why would someone torture HS Obi-wan in such a way? I can't say -- it is beyond my comprehension. It's also beyond my comprehension why a 12 year old boy would want his brother to make him a pink Obi-wan skin, but...
Undertone, as I suggested earlier, is clad in white. White and black, actually. Original, yes? In both cases, the recolored portions have been outlined very sloppily, especially in Cimanu's case. This gives it a sloppy, fuzzy look, with pink bits going onto areas they shouldn't be. The beard is also hard outlined, making no concessions for the fact that most people don't have a distinct line of facial hair across their face. Some feathering here would have been nice. No team skins have been included, no sounds, and the shaders included don't work because the author never changed it to match his skins. Bot and NPC support have been included, however.
My final opinion on these skins is that firstly, they're unoriginal, and secondly, they're uncreative. If you want to make a skin to submit to the public, have a good and interesting idea. Slapping together something like this is not the most efficient way to begin your skinning career.

another masterpiece, but with a less magical approach. The result is an imperial saboteur reskin, and while a little basic, the objective is to view the pack as a whole. The following is contained within the pack:
- Knight Reskin, complete with team skins and NPC/Bot Support
The skin, while not as shockingly glamorous as Tobe\'s other works, is quite well-done. The plating looks like plating,and the parts underneath are equally textured well. My few suggestions would be to find some new sounds other than Jaden for once. I know for a fact knights never knew the jedi. I made sure of that personally. My other nitpick is probably the helmet. Was the chin guard necessary? I can hardly see that being a plausible helmet. Well, perhaps it could be, but I think it would have done better off with a visor or something. However, that\'s improbable for that model.
- Tauntaun Reskin
Yes, there are 3 vehicles in this pack. Each contains a magnificently skinned tauntaun of evil that I daresay is too awesome even for me to ride. (I usually ride a floating platform of bones.) There\'s nothing much more to say about this other than well done, human. =_,=
- 6, count \'em 6, weapons to go into battle with
Tobe\'s weapons are almost as enchanting as the skins he makes. What we\'re brought today are: 2 banners (red and blue), sword, shield, mace, and a lance. Each are skinned so as to make them seem normal, but Tobe had to add a touch of attractive flare to them. The end result? 6 weapons for the avid old school weapons collector.
And for a final note, Tobe always adds little extras in his zip to spice up your experience. However for the sake of being evil and spiteful, I shall retain their secrecy. That way you\'ll HAVE to surrender your bandwidth to see it =_,O I know you already feel the urge to download it...go on, I DARE YOU TO CLICK. CLICK IT NOW! Must I click it for you?

rogues (although I don't think they wore quite so much clothing). It seems the skin has been redone completely. Instead of inverting her skin, the author has now desaturated and lightened it. The pants have been colored blue, and the shirt has been desaturated. The corrupt rogue sounds remain, and some NPCs for you to play with have been added. Otherwise there is very little unique about this skin to make it interesting. Just looks like a very pale Jan to me in a new outfit.

sadistic sith) took his clothes and burned them. And since Kyle never changes his clothes, he had to go and get some old Jedi robes, and his dad’s old boots. (Which I’m pretty sure were on another planet, in Kyle’s dad’s house. Oh well.
So, now Kyle has Jedi robes, at least he wants to. The author made a good starting effort with the robes, because he has the two parts that look different. Now, he just needs to experiment with shadows, blending. Or just try to remake robes. The hair of the skin is also grey, so that Kyle looks older. There are also wrinkles on Kyle’s head. While they may be lines in essence, they don’t look too bad. The arms of the skin don’t really match to torso, so that’s one part of the skin I’d look on making match. But the big thing here is whether the author is satisfied with it. It could certainly use improvement, but it’s not all that bad.

better, and the plastic face has been removed.
The old review: [quote] This reskin of Lando Calrissian features some new (read: recycled) textures, as well as a new (read, again: recycled) facial texture. The mouth area has been replaced with that of the reborn, however it has not been placed correctly. As a result, it is completely above where the mouth should actually be. Don\'t look too close when this guy taunts! Overall it\'s basically a rearrangement of things already in the assets, however none of the pieces particularly go well together, especially the various pieces in the face. Team support is included, but no other extras.

While the textures certainly do fit better, they end abruptly, which just looks weird. Now if each skin had a belt so that the hips and torso textures didn’t look so weird, the quality of these skins would be improved. Anyways, if you like the skin, then download it.

gloves were turned dark brown, the eyebrows and parts of the eyes turned purple, and the lips turned black, with black circles around the eyes. Oh yeah, and a pinkish-orange line over the lips that I think is supposed to be a scar, but just looks like a pinkish-orangish string hanging down on the face.
My advice to the author: Paintbucketing is bad, try not to do it anymore. Get Gimp if you don\'t have it already, and learn your way to becoming a better skinner.

seeing Corran Horn in a green and [i]white[/i] Jedi robe. Green and white is the colors of CorSec, and no where that I can remember did he ever translate that to his Jedi robes. Most of the more well-known images of Horn as a Jedi in fact show him in all green (a yellow-green base with darker green trim). Personally I never liked the look anyway. It made him look like Robin Hood in tights. That\'s my beef with Corran as \"Mister nifty Jedi\", though, not with this skin. I\'ve already mentioned my big beef with this skin.
My other beef with this skin is that it once again overwrites one of the torso options, so you won\'t be able to use that one anymore, and to be frankly honest, getting past the Correllian/CorSec issue, the green just looks way too bright to me. As a recreation of Corran Horn\'s robes, this mod pretty much falls flat on its face (unless there\'s some obscure reference image I\'ve never seen). As a Corellian-based reskin it has a little more support, but I think it needs a little tweaking to be a bit easier on the eyes and more Jedi-ish.

not quite understand what I'm getting at, but put yourself in my shoes. Imagine how many hair color changes I see. Most of the time the color change involves hard lines somewhere around where the hairline should be, and they look awful. This hair color change, however, it done seemlessly, with no discoloration to the flesh areas, and no distortion.
"What the heck is the mod?!" I know, I skipped that part. Sorry! This mod is basically a reskin of the blonde male Jaden head. It changes the hair color to brown. Pro: I don't like the brown haired head. I don't know about you, but I think it looks silly. I prefer this head better, so giving a brown option seems like a great idea! Con: It's not really a brown [i]option[/i], it's a brown [i]overwrite[/i]. Adding a new selectable option with this hair color would have been much preferable, and not very hard at all, so perhaps we could squeeze a V2 out of this author and get a non-overwriting option! Of course there are always benefits to having this overwrite the default head... but you'll have to decide for yourself whether convenience and compatibility are more important, or whether choice and variation are more important.

raiser.
Now, this reborn reskin is odd simply because of the main texture that gets your attention. The question is: What IS he wearing? My first impressions was it was a copy of a tire track. Yes, I honestly thought that. The spectres of my relatives said it looked like a rattlesnake skin slightly. Regardless, it\'s a bit odd. I won\'t speak on it much further since I don\'t judge author\'s imagination.
In totality, I wouldn\'t quite call it a \"work of art\" as the author affectionately refers to it in the readme, but I won\'t call it a total failure either. My suggestion would be to possibly do something with that strange texture. Otherwise, I suppose there\'s not much else to do.

seems kind of ill-done. The entire skin except for the lips look very square, and for the record the mouth was definitely slapped on a little haphazardly. However, what is one to do with a character that basically looked like that? I\'m not sure. An error I noted was that some of the sounds were broken. I guess broken is the wrong word as in truth it\'s more unformatted. The sounds were in stereo and not mono. Unfortunately I don\'t have the audio editing equipment to fix it. I\'ll have to leave that to you.

on the reborn, it lacks creativity. And so, I’m going to give some suggestions.
First off the author should use his imagination, and put something unique on the skin. Changing colors just isn’t that unique. Or, the author could put symbols on the skin. Or, barring that, make strange color combinations. Or they author could try to totally redo the reborn skin. But I realize that this isn’t likely because the author is only starting to skin. So my biggest advice for the author right now is to just use your imagination, and make what you want. Because it’s what you think of your work that really matters.

solid black Chewbacca with a strange little gray and tan bag that has a smiley face on it.
First off, making a solid black Chewbacca isn’t that visually appealing, and while this is a skin from a beginner, I just had to say that. If the skin was a version of Chewbacca with darker/black fur with different color highlights, that’s one thing. But single color skins don’t look too good. I think that the author could have been a bit more creative and put some color blending into it – or at least given a humorous backstory as to why the skin is black. (Maybe the character fell into a vat of black paint) But the biggest thing that I would have the author do is to use his imagination. But, as long as he’s satisfied with his work, he can keep making it however he wants.
Oh, as a small side note, this skin looks almost like a gorilla. A thin one, but a gorilla nonetheless.

skin.
You know…green really is a pleasant color, if you think about it. Not too bright, not too dark, and it looks good with other shades of green. As I said before, there are various symbols on the skin, and they vary in certain areas. In some areas it’s an arrow, in others it looks like a crosshair. On the back of the skin there is a symbol that I don’t know. But anyways, I like how the symbols blend in with the skin, and while I wouldn’t really download this skin and use it all the time, I’d use it once in a while just because it looks neat. There are also darker version of this skin, which are basically the same skin with a different color, and one of the skins has a different head.
This skin does come with a saber. While the saber doesn’t exactly match the skin, it’s certainly got some similarity, in that the symbol on the skin’s back is on the saber. There are staff and single versions of the saber, and the three little inverted claws on the saber’s emitter look pretty neat.

reskinned, which makes the model look much better.
One nice thing about this skin is the variations. You can use the skin in single player, and so you get all the combinations possible with the skin. You can have it be red, blue, black, or a couple of other combinations. There are several variations of the face, one looking more dark-side-ish, the other more light-side-ish. Both have a variation with the facial tattoo, and look pretty nice. Overall, I must say that this skin is looking pretty nice so far. I must say – I like what has been done with the dragon symbol on the back. I like the way it changes when the skin changes. Oh, this does have a new saber included, so enjoy!

wasn’t totally accurate. I saw no gold belt, but I did see red, cyan, and light green on the skin -the green area being the boots, cyan being part of the torso, and red being the rest. There were a myriad of other colors spattered all over the map.
I think the biggest thing that needs changing with this skin is the color, along with putting the short snowtrooper ‘skirt’ back onto the model, since that covered up some apparent tears in the model itself, or the skinning. Needless to say there was tearing along the legs of the model, which I really don’t know how to fix. But the main thing in this skin that could use work is the color scheme….but as I’ve started saying – As long as the author likes it, then who cares?

this skin, that one change is to invert the colors on all flesh portions of the skin. Yep, that's it. How this makes Jan corrupted [b][i]or[/i][/b] on the dark side I'm not sure. Maybe it's supposed to make her look like Marka Ragnos, but if that's the case, then the author must forget that [i]Ragnos is dead[/i]. Either way, though, this skin is easily recreatable by anyone out there with photoshop or gimp. Ctrl + I. Voila. This skin contains sounds from Diablo II to go along with the now blue Jan (corrupt rogues, Andariel, and Blood Raven).

Anakin model made by Hapslash were evil enough, so he improved them. I can say one thing…the eyes do look a lot different. Although why you’d really want to reskin the eyes of a model when you hardly see the eyes is beyond me…unless you were making a movie and wanted better eyes for that. Or roleplays. That’s another possible reason. Anyways, here you go: Anakin’s eyes reskinned. Please note that you will need the Anakin model to use this. You can get the Anakin model here.
